A/N: Well here it is. The 100 views chapter. I know it's crap and I know it's short. I also know that you were probably expecting fluff but I'm sorry this is hardcore angst. Also, the reason why it's special: half of it is a poem :0

Trigger Warnings: I'm really sorry but the majority of this is triggering. It's about Dan's past and if you don't want to read it then PM me and I can tell you the rough background. The only parts that are kind of about recovery and wouldn't be triggering is the last... 2-3 paragraphs I think. If you want to read that, it starts from the words 'It's only after you've stopped'.


The small five year old,

Brown hair, brown eyes,

Living in a world

Of hatred and lies.


Little Dan Howell,

Only six years of age,

His parents full of

Harsh words and rage.


A seven year old boy,

Slowly getting older.

He's getting kinder

But his parents are colder.


Eight years old,

His parents abusing him,

Bruises are covering

His sensitive skin.


One year after,

He still gets hurt,

But he hides the bruising

Under his shirt.


Now in double digits,

He's growing up.

But nothing will change

Until he owns up.


Secondary school

Was a scary place

For an eleven year old

With an injured face.


Twelve years old,

He needed to kill the pain.

So he bought a sharpener

And removed the blade.


Now a teenager,

Scars on his wrists,

Thin, fragile skin,

Covered in deep, fresh slits.


He is now fourteen,

But still no one knows

That he struggles through life

Depressed and alone.


After seven long years,

His parents still hurt him.

He still harms himself.

Everyone hates him.
