Try having my life.
The misery of a knife across your wrist.
The pain of a rope around your neck.
Feeling like no one cares and that it`s you against the world.
This is some of the pain I have felt.
Some of the pain many have felt.
And yet some that people can`t imagine.
People in this world think they have it really hard.
Oh no, you broke a nail? I feel so bad.
Oh no, you hammered your thumb in the wall? Boo who.
you want to know real pain?
Try having your parents being together for only 4 years of your life.
Or every day have it feel like it`s your fault that your parents divorced.
That if you were never born that maybe they would have stayed together.
Or all your life you think it`s one parents fault for the divorce, then find out it`s the other parents fault.
This is some pain that I have felt, and this isn't even half of it.
I have also been bullied half of my life.
Had one of my friends take her life when I was in 6th grade because she was being beaten and was t afraid to tell anyone.
I was having to be raised my my dad and grandparents.
Having then yell at each other, and now having myself only be 15 years old and having inner anger issues that can only be solved with writing.
Having friends that cut their wrist, or thinking day after day that I can survive but just waiting for the one thing that will make me crack and I just lose it.
Just lose everything. My friends, my family............. my life.
So yeah, there are pains in this world.
So you broke a nail, get over it.
So you hammered your thumb into the wall, suck it up.
You think you have pain and problems?
Be in my life for a day.
And yeah, sure I have had all these troubles in my life.
But the best thing is I'm fighting through it.
The worst thing............... this is just the beginning.
