Though this is an original piece, the style is inspired by another I heard . Sadly, I have been able to track that one down. If you have read it, please not me, I would love to credit the author of that. :nod: Also, this is not autobiographical. :heart:

This is so cool. It's something different. Way different than anything I have ever read before. I actually wanna try writing something like this. Though I wouldn't know how :lol: But there were some lines that REALLY stood out...because read together, make a point.

-Times I should have stood up for myself: 27
-Times I didn't: 26


-Attempted Suicides: 3
-Successes: 0

-People that looked: 226
-People that saw: 18

Lastly,

-Years left to live: Unknown
-Years not to be wasted: all of them
-Lives left to live: just one.

The ending is fantastic. It really sticks home and makes all the dark ones from above disappear and it gives you a bit of home

I adore this. Wonderful work,
