[Text ID: (the entire first line is blacked out.) killing myself & rotting in bed & craving cigarettes & doing nothing & doing nothing & masturbating 3 times in a row & then disgust & then disgust & a mind-numbing agent in any form. (here, another line is blacked out.) because you get to a point where you believe only certain things will kill you. (another line is blacked out.) if you didn't die in middle school, well, you're older now. (almost three entire lines are blacked out.) if no one can see you suffering, you stop believing you’re suffering at all. /End ID]
