Some nights I lay in bed.

I wish I could go to bed but monsters in my head keep me awake.

I tell them to go away

But they don't.

I try to ignore them

But sometimes I can't.

They make me hate myself.

They Tell me I'm worthless.

They tell me nobody would miss me if I died.

I tell the monsters to go away they laugh.

Tonight they told me to hang the rope on the ceiling

I obeyed

Then they said put my head in the loop.

Then they said jump.

I obeyed.

Tonight my family found me dead.
