"It's getting harder each day, so much harder. It drains me to have to constantly put up a mask, hiding how I really feel behind a smile that isn't even true. I don't think I'll ever find that easy, because it's not. The easy part for me is lying, i...
It was midnight, Saturday night to be exact. I had gone out yesterday afternoon and bought what I needed, including the mask and the crowbar.
I placed the spray cans, crowbar and mask in an old bag before climbing out of my window. I had black clothes on, a cigarette between my lips as I walked.
After a short while, I made it to the school. I headed towards the gym, grabbing out the mask and the crowbar. I placed the mask on, making sure it was secure before lifting my hood up, covering the top of my head.
I held the crowbar in my hands, using the sharp end to pry open the fire exit doors. I'm honestly lucky this school is old and doesn't have the budget to get an alarm... else I'd be screwed.
I calmly walked into the gym, smiling at the fact the whole place was clean. Not for long. I put my music on, one specific song as I started my plan...
My legs are dangling off the edge The bottom of the bottle is my only friend I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone My legs are dangling off the edge A stomach full of pills didn't work again I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone too far and yeah I'm gone again It's gone on too long, tell you how it ends I'm sitting on the edge with my two best friends Ones a bottle of pills, ones a bottle of Gin I'm twenty stories up, yeah I'm up at the top I'll polish off this bottle, now it's pushing me off Asphalt to me has never looked so soft I bet my momma found my letter, now shes calling the cops I gotta take this opportunity before I miss it 'Cause now I hear the sirens and they're off in the distance Believe me when I tell you that I've been persistent 'Cause I'm more scarred, more scarred than my wrist is I've been trying too long, with too dull of a knife But tonight I made sure that I sharpened it twice I never bought a suit before in my life But when you go to meet god, you know you wanna look nice
So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow Yeah I'll see you tomorrow
My legs are dangling off the edge The bottom of the bottle is my only friend I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone My legs are dangling off the edge A stomach full of pills didn't work again I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
We hit the sky, there goes the light No more sun, why's it always night When you can't sleep, well, you can't dream When you can't dream, well, whats life mean? We feel a little pity, but don't empathize The old are getting older, watch a young man die A Mother and a Son and someone you know Smile at each other and realize you don't You don't know what happened to that kid you raised What happened to the Father, who swore he'd stay? I didn't know 'cause you didn't say Now Momma feels guilt, yea Momma feels pain When you were young, you never thought you'd die Found that you could but too scared to try You looked in the mirror and you said goodbye Climb to the roof to see if you could fly
So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow Yeah I'll see you tomorrow
My legs are dangling off the edge The bottom of the bottle is my only friend I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone My legs are dangling off the edge A stomach full of pills didn't work again I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky Like a bird so high Oh I might just try I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky Like a bird so high Oh I might just try Oh I might just try
After about three hours, I had finished. I admired my work, I had written the last chorus of the song and the little end part on the floor, seperate places of course, and done a drawing beside them.
By the chorus, was a girl, black and white. She was holding a gun to her head, the trigger had been pulled and a giant splash of red blood covered what would have been her face.

By the other text, was another girl. She was lying down on the ground, a puddle of blood around her. She had tried to fly... only it didn't work. Her face doesn't show either, her hair and a hat cover it.

I admired my work, this is what those fuckers get... and I highly doubt they will be able to wash away water proof spray paint...
I put the cans back in my bag before leaving the way I came. I made sure the door was shut, tightly too before making my way back home.
I climbed onto my balcony, quietly opening them before shutting them. I placed my back down before taking of the mask. "Where have you been?" A voice said, I jumped as my light was flicked on, Blake standing beside it, an accusing look on his face.
"Out." I said, I threw the mask onto my bed, pulling off the black hoodie. Luckily I had a blue long sleeve top underneath, I'd hate for him to see my scars...
"Where?"
"Just out okay? Stop asking."
"I'll tell Grace."
"No!" I said, just before Blake could leave, he turned around with a smirk.
"I went to an old race track... just did a few laps." I said, Blake raised an eye brow. "Why the mask?"
"If anyone was there, I didn't want them to see me. It's not something I'd usually tell others. So you're so damn lucky I told you." I lied easily... what can I say... it's my forte.
"Really? You found an old race track?"
"Yeah... now leave please so I may go to sleep?" I asked Blake, he nodded his head before leaving.
I pulled my shirt and pants off, leaving me in my boxers as I climbed into my bed. I closed my eyes, begging for sleep to take me, or for my brain to just knock me out.
"Oh no... we mustn't sleep yet Cooper..."
I guess tonight is no different from the others...
