"Joshua, you show off!"

"Joshua Jisoo Hong, only wants to get praised by the teachers."

"Look at his smile. Hideous."

"I can't believe you are still here."

"Shouldn't you be in South Korea, or should it be North Korea!"

I woke up from the nightmare. I got up and opened my window. I looked around to find my blade. It was on my desk. I started cutting my thigh skin.  I was better than on my wrist.

Both Mom and Dad has been suffering from what I have been suffering from, but much worst. My suicide thinking keeps getting worst. And this year was going to be the same.
