Perhaps sorrow for bringing a child into this world when they really didn't have the time or desire to raise him. They may pretend that it's sorrow for their "loss", but I hope it is something else. Perhaps my parents might feel something inside which causes them to shed tears. But I do ask you to listen to the final words of a young man who has taken charge of his own destiny. I say this not because I expect to be missed, but to allow those who truly did not care go on with their lives with a clean conscience and dry eyes. I am leaving a world to which I never truly belonged or fit in.
