Dear Society,

I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. I've been becoming more and more closed off with this horrible world that is yours. My friends are starting to notice and so are the jerks of our school. They know I'm not as strong as I look. They see me as someone weak now. I've been keeping up this act for about three years now. My demons are becoming more stronger. They're showing up more often in my mind. I thought I was strong enough not to cut before, but now I'm not so sure. I'm snapping, one strand at a time. I haven't cut before because then people would know I'm weak. But I've been keeping up this act for so long now. Three years is a lot if you've been trapped with a mind like mine. How much longer can I take this? How much longer will I last? Will I last long enough? Will I still remain strong enough not to commit suicide? Or will all my strength leave me when I'm at my final days? Why, Society? Why did I have to act so strong until now? Please write back soon. I'm not sure if I'll make it to hear your reply though.

Sincerely,

The Actors
