Why? Why me? Why does it hurt so damn much? Nothing ever turns out right for me. Life is just pain, anger, and sadness in an everlasting cycle. I endured twelve years of bullshit because my family is a bunch of judgmental assholes that don't give a damn about me. They treated me horribly because i'm different from everyone else. It's not like its my fault, I can't change the way I am. If anyone is to blame its them, they're the ones who sealed the demon inside me. I feel like the loneliness that i've had to indure my whole life is tearing me apart from the inside out. To them i'm just a mistake, never meant to happen. What did I ever do to them? Exist? Is that it? I just... don't understand. I've learned something over these past twelve years. Being alone, it does things to you.

I work extra hard to get where I am today, and now I can finally start to fulfill my dream of getting revenge on these retched people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Echo is finally fed up.
