Taking Your Place
I can't stand the lights!
Even at their dimmest, it still hurts.
It's hard to keep my eyes open.
I want everything to end.
I want it to all be over.
I want this pain to stop.
There must be a mistake.
You can't possibly be the person they talk anout,it must be a lie.
Why you? Why this family?
Everythig will fall apart without you.
I wouldn't be able to handle it.
I can't sleep, when I close my eyes I see you.
All I do is cry and scream.
My eyes are blood-shot and blurry from all the tears.
My face is red from all the screaming.
What am I supposed to do?
I'm so lost. Won't someone find me?
Help me? Save me?
If I could, I would gladly take your place.
I wish it me, rather than you.
This family will break without you.
We need you. Let me take your place.
I'll be better this way.
Surely someone will let me take your place.
