she's happy up there,
looking down at sacrifice,
saves lives and people.

but costs hers.

▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬

author's note:

this is in the perspective of a depressed teen. and i don't want what happened to her, breaking you - the reader.

[her best friend - bes - turned her back on her. she gave it her all, but she got nothing in return.]

all i ask is the chance to set you free, no needing the cliff, and be happy and living.

[pm is always open. i'll be there when you need me.]

this short story
is about being
willing to live,
just for the
plain reason
that it's a happiness
and not a burden.
includes realizing that.

now, i hope
through this
short story,
you'll take
3 am thoughts
more seriously.

also, bes is inspired by someone that i thought i could trust, but i saw her true colors a little too late. also short for bestie.

then i realize that i need to fight for myself, not because of the friendship.
