“So meh mom wont let me go outside today because I deleted the messages off of her phone between me and my friend niccole but I only did it cause it wouldnt recieve anymore texts. so yeah, and she went through some of the messages that I left there. and nicole said something about meh mom, it wasnt bad. and I asked my mom if I could go outside today she said 'i dunno I'm not really happy with you, I gave you my phone and all you wanna do is talk shit about me?' I said ' I wasnt talking shit about you, I was talking shit about myself, I was telling nicole how big of a fuck up I am. and how much I hate mysellf. and all the shit I did in my past I deserve this kind of life I got now. no life.' she went silent after that. so I just went back up stairs. and here I am now. and I had the signature on the phone as wasteofspace. my mom asked me why I had it like that, I said it was just a song. but reaally its not. I'm just a waste of space.”
