54 - Her Last Words

//These lyrics are really sad, for it talks about a girl committing suicide by hanging herself. If you are easily disturbed by that, do not continue as it is for your own safety. Thank you. -Juzo Honenuki (known in the prologue as Katsuki Bakugou)

She's just an average girl; she always wore a smile. She was cheerful and happy for a short while. Now that she's older, things are getting colder and life's not what she thought. She wished someone had told her. She told you she was down and you let it slip by, so, from then on, she kept it on the inside. She told herself she was alright, but she was telling white lies. Can't you tell? Look at her dull eyes. 

She tried to stop herself from crying almost every night, but she knew there was no chance of feeling alright. As summer came by, all she wore was long sleeves because those cuts on her wrists were bleeding through, you see. She knew she was depressed but didn't want to admit it. She didn't think she fit it. Everyone seemed to miss it. She carried on like a soldier with a battle wound, bleeding out from every cut her body consumed. She had no friends at school, and she sat all alone. If someone were to notice she would blame the cat, but those cuts on her wrist were no mistake. No one cared enough to save her from this self hate.

Things were going down, never really up. Here she is now, stuck in this stupid rut. She knew exactly what she had to do next: just stand on a chair and tie the rope around her neck. She wrote a letter with her hands shaking wild, "Look at me now. Are you proud of your precious child?" But she knew that her parents weren't the ones to blame. It was the world that should bow down its head in shame. She stood up on the chair and looked out at the moon. 'Just don't think. it'll all be over soon.' The chair fell down as she took her final breath. It's all over, all gone. Now she's greeting death.

Her mom walks in and falls down to the floor. Nothing can take back what she just saw. The little girl that she raised is just hanging there. Her body's pale and her face is violently bare. All she does is stare. "How can this be fair?"

She starts reading as tears roll down her face...

"I'm sorry mom, but this world just isn't my place. I've tried for so long to fix this and fit in. I've come to realize that this world is full of sin. There's nothing for me here. I'm just a waste of space. I've got no reason to here with this race. It's a disgrace. I was misplaced. Born in the wrong time and in the wrong place. It's okay, though, because you'll see me soon. You'll know when your time has come. Just look at the moon as it shines bright throughout the night. Remember everyone's facing their own fights. I can't deal with this pain. I'm not a fighter. You'll make it through the night. Just hug your pillow tighter. Please let the world know that I died in vein because the world around me is the one to blame. I know in a year, you'll forget I'm gone because "I'm not really something to be dwelled on".  That's what they used to tell me. All the kids at school. I'm going by the law majority rules. My presence on this Earth is not needed any longer. If anything, I hope this makes you stronger. You're the best friend I ever had. It's such a shame I had to make you so very sad. Just remember that you meant everything to me. To my heart, you're the only on who held the key. It's time to go. I'm running out of space to write. Yes, I lost my fight, but please. Just hold on tight. I'm watching over you from the clouds above and sending down the purest and whitest dove to watch over you and be my helpful eye.

This is it world...

Goodbye."
