The Moon

I always wanted to see the moon. Ever since I was younger, I used to stay awake at night, laying in bed. When I was scared, I would look at the moon. When I was tired, I would look at the moon. Under many circumstances, looking at that small white sphere in the dark sky would make me feel better. I used to say when I would grow up I would fly to the moon, and make it up there, God would help me. I dreamed of it every night, and wrote about it, drew pictures of it. My whole family well knew I was huge about the moon.

In my school years, I encountered the hard life of bullying. I would go home and cry, and look out at the moon and feel better. But it honestly wasn't good enough.

When I turned 14, I wanted nothing more than to disappear. I didn't care about the moon much anymore, it was just a fucking stupid thing in the sky, right?
After I couldn't do this anymore, the Moon would just.... be there. Nothing.

But when I stood up on the chair in my bedroom, I for once actually physically felt better. I looked straight at the moon, tears down my face. While maintaining the looking at it, my tears kept coming and going. Sobbing, I kept looking at the moon. I kicked the chair out from under my feet.

At least you'd be able to say, I died looking at the moon.
