My Usual

“Go away.”

Yes, it was another normal day. Being told to go away, being cut out of the group, getting odd stares, and hearing people whispering about me. No one here is my friend. I don’t have friends. I lost them. Addiction took over one’s life, cancer the other, depression another. It was pretty shitty. One so-called “friend” was so blinded by love; they left me alone in a corner, wishing I were dead. Why? Why must everyone in my life leave, never to return? I hide in a corner and cry, praying that someone will have mercy on me and end it all. Please, someone just end this, end my life, end me. I can’t take it anymore. I’m hated but many. I’m not loved by any. No one understands the mask I wear. No one thinks something could be wrong. I have them all fooled. When my mask cracks, what will I do then?
