One reason I want to die

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Every Day there is something that happens that makes me want to die and this is one reason...


   When I look at you and i realize that you and I are nothing to each other. Every time we look at each other and just stare it seems as if we're both trying to find the person we knew years ago. The person that we miss because the person we see when we look at each other looks and acts different. It scares me that we can never be the same way because life caught up to our childish ways. I appreciate that after all this crap I've put you through you still see the same Kayla you saw 4 years ago and still care because honestly I've stopped caring about me and more and more have I thought about killing myself because I feel like I've dissapointed everyone around me including you and I can't take it. So I'm sorry.
                                     -Kayla 
  (But that could just be me overthinking things again and you don't think there's anything wrong at all because if you think nothing is wrong then we were never something to each other in the first place and I'm wasting my time. )
