Excerpt From My Life

“All I’ve wanted was to be enough for you!” I sob, why aren’t I enough? She looks at me, her face twisting with disgust.

“Of course, play the victim. Why can’t you accept responsibility? No one likes people who always blame others.” She states, watching my reaction like it’s her fuel. Tears drip down my face, I don’t understand what I did wrong.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.” I whisper, my legs barely holding me up.

“Are you kidding me?!” She yells. I regret saying that, I regret it, I regr- “You’re a horrible person, no one will ever want you, you’re completely worthless and a waste of a life, everyone would be better off if you’d never even been born!” She yells, her words shoot right to my core, completely shattering me.

I race upstairs to my room, shutting the door and climbing in bed. I gasp for air, tears falling like rain, my sobs shake the bed as I reach for my phone charger. I pull the charger as tight as I can around my neck and hold it, and hold it. I let go and gasp for air. I wish I was dead, why aren’t I dead?
