Nothing


Sometimes I fantasize about my own death. 

How much easier life will be for everyone around me.

How much better off my kids will be without me.

How my dad will have no more hate to hold onto.

My mom won’t have to feel guilty anymore.

And my partner won’t have to pretend for he sake of the kids anymore.

If I die, no messy breakups.  

No custody battles

No more feeling like a burden 

No more disappointment

No more fighting 

Just peaceful nothing.
