What did I do to deserve this?

I was a good kid. I get good grades. I behaved well. I did what everyone asked me to do.

Why?

Waking up seems like a hard thing to do. Knowing full well that it’s never the same anymore.

The home I grew up loving.

The people I used to look up to.

The faces that used to be my safe place.

The voices that used to calm me.

Maybe I wasn’t enough for them.

Or maybe I was just a kid.. wanting to be loved.

Tears flooded in my room. Wishful thinking as I stared at the roof.

I can’t breathe.

Can someone help me?

Please.
