"Your life is a gift. Accept it. No matter how screwed up or how painful it seems to be. Somethings are going to work out as if they were destined to happen... As if they were just meant to be"

I can never go back to China.
I can never kill someone.
I can never travel back in time.
I can never runaway.
I can't remember my birth parents.
I'm not thinking about the painful memories.
I'm not thinking whatsoever.
I'm not thinking about when I was nine.
I can't stand those mistakes I made.
I can't stand the pain, fear, and guilt I feel.
I can't stand seeing you sad.
I can't stand myself
I can't stand it all.
