It’s so comforting knowing how close my sister and daughter are, only feet apart.

The family plot thickens with every generation, more soil hides the secrets.

I've been up all night.

Random nerves firing off are slowly driving me insane.

I only have one question about this country:

Why is it so much easier to buy a gun than to find a job?

When I came home from college, my little brother asked me to help him hunt for crickets and other small bugs.

After we caught a few he smiled, “Now my gecko won’t be hungry since dad won’t take me to buy him food”

I'm so tired, but I must comfort my crying humans.

I'll head bump them once the vet is done giving me these shots.

She was sixteen, 3.8 GPA, bright eyed and bushy tailed, 2 siblings, a brother and sister, medical intern with a bright, whole future ahead of her.

She was sixteen, with a brain tumour.

I check your account semi regularly, to make sure you’re doing ok.

I guess that makes me a masochist because it hurts every time.

I had trouble sleeping in bed for the first time.

It wasn’t until after the social worker pulled me out of my home did I realize it’s not normal to sleep outside in the dog’s cage.

As a kid I wanted to be older than my siblings.

I'm only 27 and already surpassed them.

“I’ll be fine. I promise.” She told me.

It’s unfortunate she had a history of broken promises.

The demon walked into the room.

"Wow, your pointy horns and flourescent red skin are so ugly," said some lady.

“Happy Birthday to you” I quietly sing to myself, holding my store bought cupcake with a single lit candle.

A tear of loneliness leaks down my chin and extinguishes the candle before I can wish and blow out the flame.

I'm twenty-one now.

But I know you'll choose fentanyl over me again, Momma, just like you have for the past nine years.

"But mum, Chips is really sick!" the little girl cried, insisting her poorly mum get out of bed to comfort her and check on her pet fish before school.

Skipping home at the end of the day, she saw the blue lights flashing long before she realised they were parked outside her house and immediately feared the worst for Chips.

In Death.

I always believed that, in death, there would be peace for me. I was wrong; oh, so wrong—the pain remains, and the blood won't stop pouring from my wrists.

There's no place in society he thought as he loaded it.

He realized the job at the warehouse was a dead end, but his dream had been broken long ago, now the only dreams he had were of his mortal dead end... one day it'll end.

After dad's absence, more than ever do I wish for my family to visit and support me.

But for my entire life I knew they would never even support themselves; so I will have to start visiting them from now on, with the same patient smile that dad used to wear.

They all stood in silence, staring up at the sky in awe.

Little did they know, it was the last rainbow they would ever see.

I got off work early so I rushed home and slipped into bed to surprise my wife.

"Ok but make it quick, your dad will be getting off work soon."

"I don't wanna go," said my little boy

"I'm sorry," I said as they wheeled him into the operating room, "you'll be okay."

I have a fantastic family, a great lifestyle, & I have very little to worry about.

Yet I feel stress & anxiety all the time.

I wrestled my grandfather to the ground as my mother was bleeding out.

My mother died of a gunshot wound to the thigh by her own father.

I just thought I was meeting some guy on a dating app.

Now I'm lying here in the hospital with a broken rib.

My son got beat up and called slurs outside the ice cream parlor.

But it's my fault- I was the one who ordered the rainbow sprinkles.

Arriving at the school gates, my classmate spotted my black eye and, in a mock impersonation of me, joked, "If you think this is bad, wait till you see the other guy!"

But then he noticed my mum's matching shiner, and fell silent.
