I am Nico di Angelo son of Hades, Ghost King. I wish someone out there cared for me or noticed me. I would be so happy if someone said my name. I know that day will never come, because I'm all alone. I'm just an invisible boy in the shadows following everyone. Feel free to call me a nobody because that's who I truly am. I wish someone would just appreciate me, love me for me, or even hug me or be my friend. We all know that will never happen because I am a freak a monster. I stopped believing in myself. I am just a mere shell of a man. I faced more that any demigod has seen. When people say they know pain, that's a lie. I know how pain truly feels like. Because I faced through pain my entire life. Being Alone is the true pain. You have no one. No one wants you, needs you, loves you, cares about you, appreciates you, hugs you, become your friend. That's how pain is. You have no one to live for. It's so much pain that you can't live with. You bear the pain but it's too much. Slowly a piece of your soul breaks apart and tears it self day by day. Then one day you're dead. But that's fine because you're finally free, you have nothing to worry about. That's my hope. I want to be free. I didn't kill myself or cut myself because I learned to live alone, I learned to live with all the pain. I learned to deal with all the teasing. I learned how to live with it. I learned how to get on with life. I learned how to ignore it all. Because I am strong. I don't fear anything. I don't fear death, I don't fear blood, I don't fear monsters or feared of getting hurt, because I've faced it all. I learned to live with it all. I am just the shadow in a picture. I am a mere shadow. Except I'm more alone than my father because he has Persephone who loves him but hates me. I don't belong with the living or the dead.
