unsent letter : seven
Dear Anonymous,
I'm starting to lose hope. Everyday is getting harder and harder, the bullying is getting worse and worse. Aren't you supposed to get used to it? But I'm not getting used to it, I'm giving. There's no hope, it's all darkness. Nobody is talking to me like a normal human. They just treat me like garbage. They insult me, tease me, and bully me. My parents have no clue and the teachers are just there. They only give more and more homework. More and more pressure.Aren't you supposed to go talk to a trusted adult? Trustful adult my ass, none of them are trustworthy, nobody is. I'm better off just going.
So I guess this is the last time I'll be writing to you. Not that you'll ever read this. But for what it's worth, here's the truth.
You came into my life and started sending me these letters. I acted like I hated them and that you're a dick and all that. But to tell the truth, I liked it. Someone loves me, someone loves me enough to take time out of their day to write a letter to me. It was exciting and nice, it felt like it's from a movie. Though I hate cliché stuff and romantic gestures, these letters were just different. You are different. I guess that's why I liked it, because your personality was different than mine, making these letters exciting. All throughout these letters, I've been developing feelings, starting to fall for you. And I guess now I can say that I have strong feelings for you, that I could possible love you.
You said you wanted to be one of the good things in my life. I wrote that you're one of the bad things in my life. But you have no idea how good you are. You're the only good thing that has ever happened to me.
But I guess all good things must come to an end, and I guess this one is ending here.
Goodbye, Anonymous.
I love you.
Love, Kelly
