Lyrics are Simple Plan's 'Welcome to my life'. This drabble was half-inspired by that song. :)

Character: Leah

Stimulus: Disappointment

Do you know what it's like?

To be such an embarrassment that your own mother won't acknowledge you? To feel so alone in this pitiless world? To have no one to turn to? To be hated by many around you? To be shunned, in a world where romance is everything?

Do you know what it is like to be me?

Do you know what it's like to be so broken hearted that you can't sleep and you can't dream and you can't eat? Do you know what it's like to be empty and broken and forgotten? Do you know what it's like to be a disappointment to everyone you know, including your family?

I want to be an older sister for Seth. I want to be the perfect student, the perfect daughter. I want to go somewhere, achieve something with my life. I want to fall in love with someone who won't let me down.

But I can't, and I won't. I'm too much of a disappointment.

"No, you don't know what it's like. When nothing feels alright. You don't know what it's like, to be like me."
