"Let me die happy," some will say. I, personally, don't believe in such a sentiment. The notion of true happiness does not exist, for there will always be someone you don't like, something you wish had turned out differently, or a someone you wish you could've been.

So why bother with such a pointless desire? As I said, such a concept is unattainable, but it manages to live on in the hopes and dreams of the lighthearted and burden-free - those so unlike me. It's foolish to rely on another person, or some great entity, to grant all which you ask for and have it handed to you on a silver platter.

So, I guess you'll have to call me a fool.

If there is a god out there, I know you're laughing at me right now, as you've been mocking me all my life. If you truly do exist, this fool has but a thing to say to you:

I know I'm not going to die happy; I don't deserve to. Just don't take me from this world, not now, not until I've seen my little brother smile again, in his original body. I'm not asking for much. I'll do it all on my own, but don't make me leave this place without fulfilling this one promise to him. You and I both know that he, at least, deserves that much.

And then, you can do with me as you will.

...said this fool.

A/N: You can probably tell that I was in that sort of mood while composing this. I've been having a string of horrible days since mid-April, and on top of that, it's the second time this year someone close to someone I know has died. :/ I don't know what to make of this, so perhaps you'll enlighten me with your thoughts.

Yours,
Sora(:
