Thank you so much Skyelara, Thunder Croft, AngelCake20, jazzybizzle, Prower134, XxCrimsonShadowxX, and The Divines for your wonderful reviews! I seriously and truly appreciate you all taking the time out of your day to read my story! To Prower134, I read your review and noticed you requested a darker chapter, and I took what you said into consideration and whipped up this chapter! I hope I did a good job with it, and I hope you all enjoy it. Feel free to let me know your thoughts :)

38. Sympathy
Go ahead and talk a hit.
Pain hurts me not.
Sticks and stones will crush these bones,
And words only hurt as much as you allow them to.
Preach, preach, preach!
Drown me, hurt me, but my spirit will survive.
Truth, she's more than a fond memory,
And I close my eyes and dive into shallow dreams.
My heart still beats firmly against my ribs,
Though I'm not sure when everything will fade away.
Follow me into the abyss,
For life is such a bittersweet bliss.
Let the lies flows forth like a raging river.
The truth will set this damned soul of mine free.
It doesn't hurt me like it once did before
Because I'm numb and can no longer feel a thing.
