Hey, I'm Barry and my life has been pretty difficult. My mother passed away as soon as I was born. I live with my alcoholic father and an older brother in a small house in the unnoticeable town of Avalon in California. My father blames me for my mother's death and even abuses me when he is madly drunk. I've even got to believe that it was my fault, everything is my fault, I shouldn't be born, ...I blame myself. My brother is 23 and is mostly out of town. He doesn't know about the abuse yet and I would like to keep it that way. At school, life is pathetic. I mean I am really good in academics with a 4.3 GPA but that is the problem. I have no friends and everyone treats me like shit, bruhhhh, WHY WOULD ANYONE LOVE ME ANYWAYS?
There is a gang that bullies me everyday and makes me do all their homework. I am really tired of this life, I just want it to stop, I want someone to listen to me and tell me that everything's gonna be okay. But that's just what I wish, how can anyone love me, I'm unlovable, REMEMBER?
I've adopted a coping mechanism now, I cut myself when it gets too heavy inside,.... YES I self-harm. I mean what else can I do. I CAN NEVER WIN WITH THIS BODY I LIVE IN, I'm just so weak."Emotionally I'm done, mentally I'm drained, spiritually I'm dead, physically I smile"
