Difference

You said that he wasn't better than me. He was different and that was what you needed....... He doesn't Imagine happiness. He doesn't gouge out his own skin. He doesn't overflow with self-pity. He doesn't dream of having no memory. He doesn't Avoid mirrors. He doesn't Miss what it's like to smile. He doesn't hurt himself with knives. He doesn't envision life where he doesn't exist He doesn't lie to everyone around him. He doesn't pray to have no memory. He doesn't Scream on the inside when he sees you. He doesn't Openly hurt what he loves most. He doesn't Regret almost everything that he has ever done. He doesn't Realize that he is a terrible person. He doesn't Yell into the darkness. He doesn't meet a counselor every week. He doesn't end his day by crying himself to sleep at night. ......... You were right he is different. And that makes him damn better than me.
