I am right now having one of those days where depression and despair hit hard. It has to do with something that has been physically and mentally been a major disturbance in my life but no matter how much I pray for God to do justice for me, those who are evil remain unpunished.
This nuisance often makes me reflect on all the other pains in my life and here I will enumerate some of them:
-I was born in a very abject third-world country, with a helplessly ignorant population.
-I was born to a household with a history of sinful practices like alcoholism from both sides, sexual deviance, mental problems, intense hate and enmity, lack of natural affection.
-I am a failure in all areas of life. All of them. Professional, personal, financial. You name it.
-All my problems are like chains binding me from taking the leap to try a new life. I have no one to run to. I have no money nor resources to leave my family and my city and restart life somewhere else, far from them.
I don't know why I am still here. Ever since I turned 14 life has only been a series of disappointments, losses and trauma and I want to understand what God gains by letting such things happen and not just letting me die instead. I keep praying for something to take my life but nothing happens. I really can't see why I am here. I have no attachment to anything anymore. I hate each member of my family. I crave no experience like travel, food or games. I don't feel pleasure in any pursuits and hobbies.
I am just tired of suffering and it seems that while there is life, there is pain in some form. Sickness, evil people, injustice, poverty. The list goes on.
I see no point in resilience. All the people I know who have been resilient during all their lives have gained nothing from it. They are still in the same poor conditions, with the same people who hurt them, and worse still, they are now just wrinkled from old age and toil. Their life is not any better than it was 20 years ago.
I don't know what else to say. Existing is pointless. I want to disconnect from this life because I have had enough. What does God want from me that He can't get some someone else? Why keep me here? I feel trapped and wanting to escape. I just want to sleep and never wake up again.
I need to die. I need to die. I need to die.
