Unlucky In Love

There once was a Merman named Harry
Who was in love with a Mermaid named Mary
So he wrote her a poem
And invited her home
Unfortunatly, she turned out to be Larry

Lot of that seems to be happening more and more.I had 2 suicide attempts this past month but I am about to make it happen.I am just to stressed out and can't handle it.Hope all is well with you.
