Today isn’t the best day ever. Anger fills up my veins everytime I move my head. I look to my right and see people, all dressed in black. I look to my left and see flowers, all colors. Tears go down my face as I watch death eat my best friend.
“I love you, Linna,” he said. “I would never go.”
He lied to me, daddy. He left me dying in a hole with monsters that judge me, break me. They don’t know me. They don’t know what it feels to watch him go, watch him burn.
But they will.
The birds woke me up. I felt happy and free. Mommy told me I could play with David and Angelina today in the park. She never lets me go, though. I wonder why she did that, daddy.
I was sweating and jumping at the same time when Angelina yelled. I watched her get up from the ground and run to the gate of our house. David had his big eyes full of tears and I didn’t know what to do. I followed Angelina, but I was shaking.
Daddy, why is mommy on the floor? What did you do?
I ran.
I never knew how to speak in front of people. My voice was low and full of shyness. My teacher told me I was a bright student like you always tell me, daddy.
Today, she gave an assigment. We need to write an essay and stand up in front of the classroom and read it. I need to say it from memory, daddy.
I wrote about society and suicide. It does have a lot in common. You taught me to never care about what people say.
Today, I talked about society and suicide.
And you know what?
I did it.
