Dearly departed,

Here lay the remains of someone who long wished to know what it feels like to hold joy genuinely.

He leaves not any treasures or assets but rather a note, with the simple message, “How will they remember me?”.

I know I’m good at numbers because every day is a math lesson.

I count the days since my last attempt and wonder how soon before the next.

I look at my wardrobe filled with long sleeve t-shirts and the empty cabinets where the pills used to be.

Sometimes I have conversations with myself, inner thoughts I don’t share with no one else.

I ask how does it feel to mean nothing, to have no one love you and make it seem like it’s your fault. How does it feel to be in a room full of laughs and wish for silence because your loneliness feels less metaphorical.
