Until your old enough to understand I’ll be here.



I believe the only reason for my existence is you
The only thing keeping me holding on is you
The only reason I try is you
I only reason I endure the pain of life every day is you
The only reason I don’t give up is you
I have nothing, no friends, no money, no hobbies and that’s my fault
This world hasn’t been to easy on me, or I on it
 I would have left it 100 times already,
But Suicide is selfish and I could never knowingly hurt you
If it wasn’t for you.
You’re the best person I know
The smartest dam kid I know
If you don’t learn anything from my failures learn this:
Be yourself don’t give a f*ck what anyone else thinks, don’t worry about trying to be the cool kid.
Be happy with your true friends, don’t miss out on finding them by trying to be popular.  
I did and those kids I tried so hard to impress are fucking LOSERS
And the kids I was friends with drifted away because I was too embarrassed to call them my friends for fear of not being liked by the popular kids.
I will continue to try, to at least give you the chances I didn’t have.
I long for the day I can explain my pain to you, so that I can finally leave and be in peace.
