- End of Time -
I followed your every footsteps,
for awhile now.
It's leading me to the same spot,
that it left you, Marcus.
You were my role model,
my leader from the start.
My best friend from the day
that we met in the park.
I was your follower,
you never complained.
You were my leader
all just the same.
But now, I'm starting
to realize.
That all through these years,
I've been following the wrong guy.
Physically, no
I've purposely been following you.
But your starting to do things
that I don't want to do.
I am now the leader
and you are following me.
This is not
how it was meant to be.
Asking you to stop,
you always refuse.
You say you won't give up
until you have to move.
We both know very well,
that you will never move.
It's a family tradition
in where you can not move.
I will have to wait
until I can move.
For I am still to young
and my 'family' chooses not to.
I now have to make a choice,
a huge one on my part.
It's starting to dawn on me
that you like me.
I know very well
that you don't break promises.
Yet, you promised me
that you like me.
The real promise
is pretty harmful.
I can't let you
go through with it.
You said that if I
don't believe you like me,
you'll commit suicide.
There's one problem with that.
I have dysthymia.
Incase you don't know
what that is.
It's pretty much low self-esteem
and cutting yourself.
I can't believe people
when they say they like me.
No matter what they do,
I just can't, my mind won't allow it.
So this may be
the end, I really hope not though.
Please don't be serious,
Marcus.
-Yes, this actually happened today (October 20, 2013). I feel really bad that I can't help him. But, I really do have dysthymia and major depression. I have thought about suicide myself, and came pretty close. But I don't want it to happen to anyone else. Especially not Marcus. Thanks..!-
