I can still hear you.

I may not still be a character,not even a side character,but oh I hear you.

You're fawning over them?

The side character?

But they're just so...weak.

I thought you still cared for me.

You still cry over me when my name is mentioned.

But you now love to reread,just for them.

Why is that?

Am I not good enough?

Too,what,dead? For your taste?

What do they have that I don't?

A story?

They didn't even have parents.

They don't have a home,

No friends.

So why do you care about them?

I can't understand.

I grew up on my own. Out in the middle of nowhere,sharing scraps of food with a younger sibling.

But oh no,the side character who purposefully became depressed gets all your sympathy.

Just because I decided to become strong and not let my ghosts haunt me,doesn't mean I never suffered.

But oh no,the character who has cuts on their arms and burns around their neck gets all the attention.

Not the character who pushed down their sorrow so that it wouldn't weigh them down.

The character who had love interests,oh so many love interests,even though I pushed all of them away so I wouldn't get attached.

I didn't want to get attached and then lose them,not again.

Because you know your glorious,so loved side character?

Once was a bubbly,happy,smiling character.

One I became so smitten with.

And then everything got screwed to hell.

The bullies attacked us,

Teachers threw disapproving glares,

And our friends deserted us.

And your beautiful side character couldn't take it.

They turned to blade,rope,pills.

They left me to wonder what I had done wrong.

But that's okay. Because at least they're happy,even if I can't..

Even if I can't be the one to make them happy.

As long as they keep smiling..

As long as you keep them smiling and laughing and happy,

I'll be okay.

Make them the main character,give them the spotlight.

Angels deserve that light.

Not a jealous chained soul.

I never deserved sympathy,oh no.

My dearest needs that sympathy,that comfort.

So Reader,

Oh my darling Reader,

Take care of the soul placed in your care.

The soul I tried so hard to protect and love.

Please,keep them safe.

They're my life.
