  This wasn't supposed to happen. They weren't supposed to know my weakness. I tried to hide it. I really did, but it seems it was in vain. Yet why am I worrying? Let them see the fear. Let them see me cry. What do I care? It's not as if they're indestructible. They've shed tears too, and they've had fears just as I've had. Let them look upon me. Let them look upon what they all try to hide. It's not a secret anymore, and I won't hide from them.
But wait....are they....are they walking away? After pestering me and pestering me, they just walk away?! Fine. Let them live their miserable lives. To hell with all of them. See if I give a damn. Let them turn their backs. Let them shut me out. I don't care anymore. Or...do I? I don't know anymore...I just....I'm confused. Why is there this pain in my chest? Why do I feel so down? This empty feeling within....it's consuming me.
I try to hold back a scream, but with no such luck. The emptiness burns. It's like a wildfire that's run rapid. I can't stop it. It makes its way to my very soul. It's deafening. No, wait....that's my own voice, screaming for redemption. But no one will come to my aid. Why would they? What am I to them? Nothing but a speck of dust, or a fly on a wall. I can't take it anymore. Someone, please, put me out of my misery. Show me no mercy, for that's what I deserve. Someone....just do it....please....end this agony....
