@Sukaretto wrote this very powerful short story which definitely touched me and made me think about my own emotions.

Anxiety and Self Doubt Warning,

There are days when I couldn't wake up.

Get up.

Get up to continue with life.

Get up to maybe save another life.

Get up to maybe try to make things right.

Because I know that it would never be the same.

That nothing would ever go right whenever I'm around.

Don't think I didn't notice the times you called people to watch over me.

Don't think I didn't notice the times you wince whenever I'm poised to attack.

Don't think I didn't notice the times you always shudder every time I try to talk to you.

Heh. I only have myself to blame.

There were so many people who trusted me.

People I had to betray.

Wait. I never had to hurt them, I never had to betray them.

And there were so many people that had their own lives. People with families who were waiting. Waiting for them to come home. To come back to them.

And the worst part is that I've betrayed the trust of those people. I've endangered the lives of those who actually trusted me.

So many people put their trust in me, but it was my selfishness that decided to put all of that trust to waste.

I wish there was a way for me to make it up to them, but trust is something you can't take back. And I had to learn that the hard way.

But why are you still here?

Out of all the people hurt, I hurt you the most.

You're the one I targeted, yet you're the quickest to forgive me.

The worst part is that I was aware of everything I did.

And I didn't think about feeling sorry before.

I didn't give a second thought about it. Until now.

I realised that it hurt.

That I hurt you.

That I stripped of your secret identity.

That I've beaten and broken you.

And I was aware of all of it.

I knew that there was no good in me, and that it would be nearly impossible for me to win back your trust.

To win back their trust.

To win back your trust.

I'm not worth your time, and right now, I hope you're safer without me.

If you did make it this far, thank you.

But you're safer without me around you.

And you don't have to worry about me. I'm not your responsibility anymore.
