I mourn who I could've been
The travesty of my life is no matter how hard I try something fucks me up. I dealt with autism, abusive parents, bullying, and social isolation for so long yet pushed through. My cousin killed himself when I was 16 and I blame myself for not being there that night. He was the only one who treated me as an equal. My social skills afterwards were non existent and the mask I tried to build for so long shattered into a million pieces. I never had the choice to hang out with friends because no one wanted to be my friend. I never got to go to prom. Never had a kiss or a girlfriend. Never got to feel included. I never even had a choice.
