This serves as a letter from a very jaded adult to a child that knows no sadness.
Beware of what lies ahead for it is something very different from anything you have ever experienced before.
Your entire world is about to turn on you and drowned you in a world of sorrow for which you likely will not return from.
You will fall fast and hard with no word of warning.
All that was will be but a memory to hang on to and cherish.
All that will be will be a nightmare that doesn’t soon end.
Your only savior will be the cold, dark, nights sky.
A safety where no one will see or hear the tears that fall from your eyes.
A time when you can be alone and not reminded of your failures and short comings.
You can remember all that was and smile but only for a second.
Smile to long and you will be punished when the sun wakes early and brings with it the hellish nightmare that is the world surrounding you.
Be brave and let no one see your weaknesses or they will become your final song for they will be used against you until nothing remains but a carcass.
A cold, lifeless, bag of bones of your former warm, bright light will be all that stands once they have allowed you a chance to breathe.
Don’t dare fight back for that only makes things worse.
Your screams for help will fall on deaf ears.
Those that hear you will betray you and leave you alone in your own personal hell.
The nights sky will deceive you with a million stars to wish upon but those wishes shall never come true.
Prepare yourself now so that it doesn’t catch you off guard and pull you deeper under.
You will survive this but once on the other side things will never be the same.
All you will see is the cruelty and havoc of the world.
You will be faced with all that you lost on a daily basis to stretch out your torture.
You will be left with nothing and no one but yourself to trust and count on.
Head my warnings for your torture will never end.
You will never know what grave misstep you took that lead you so far off the track.
Forced for all eternity to wonder what you did to deserve such an unending evil.
An unending evil that will become the only stability you find in your jaded world.
