I know what it’s like.
I’ve been bullied at school.
And I feel so worthless.
And I feel like no one cares, even though I know they do…
And some days…
I just want to give up…
Some days…
I feel like I can’t take anymore…
And I just want it all to end.
People keep telling me to be strong,
But I don’t know if I have any more strength.
My hands are shaking, my head is pounding, I’m gasping for breath, I can’t stop crying…
I just want it to STOP.
I just want to be okay.
I just wish there was someone to hug me and tell me everything is going to be alright…
I just wish I had some HELP.
But…
Don’t worry…
I’m not going ANYWHERE.
I’m staying, right here.
I’m going to get through this.
But no one deserves to feel like this.
Always remember:
You are beautiful.
You are loved.
You are strong.
And some day…
Things WILL get better…
And until then…
