I give up... This is like my motto. But I'm a hypocrite. I wake up every morning, Wishing I hadn't. I'd end things myself, But I  just freeze every time I come close. Last time... I was so weak, I had to make one last call... And that broke me. I sat there, pills in my hand, Too weak to say anything but "I'm sorry" over and over while they begged me not to do it... I wasted too much time, and the next thing I knew, I'd been pinned down, too weak to scream... Let me go... I'd breathe out those words, almost to quiet to hear... Then I woke up the next day. "I love you.  Thank you for being alive." I actually thought maybe life was worth it, For a short amount of time... Now I'm here, Tears on my keyboard, Bile tickling my throat, Wishing I had done it then... I don't know what else to say. I can't say goodbye....so I'll see you tomorrow. I wish that weren't the case.

I love you all. But all I can see is the pain around me...That I caused. I'm poison to everyone and everything around me. Promise me you'll never love me.
