I am stuck. I am stuck inside a person I hate. I am a person I don't want to be and I wish nothing more than to fail. Why do I want to fail? Why God do I feel, do I feel unwanted? Unloved by even my self. Why must I be this person? A soul trapped in a skin gasping for air... Air I tell myself I don't want. I don't need. I am drowning and I like the feel. My lungs burn for air and I don't want to surface. I want the fire to engulf me--I want the flames to swallow my lungs. Swallow me whole. I feel dead inside. No something worse than death... I am a small child trying to find a place in this world. A child who can't find Who won't find a place in this world. Why, oh why God? Do I spend more time, wanting to end my life. Than to live it

Stuck.
I am stuck. I am stuck inside a person I hate. I am a person I don't want to be and I wish nothing more than to fail. Why do I want to fail? Why God do I feel, do I feel unwanted? Unloved by even my self. Why must I be this person? A soul trapped in a skin gasping for air... Air I tell myself I don't want. I don't need. I am drowning and I like the feel. My lungs burn for air and I don't want to surface. I want the fire to engulf me--I want the flames to swallow my lungs. Swallow me whole. I feel dead inside. No something worse than death... I am a small child trying to find a place in this world. A child who can't find Who won't find a place in this world. Why, oh why God? Do I spend more time, wanting to end my life. Than to live it
