Gabriel Myers

What is going through the mind of a 7 year old before he hangs himself? Is he crying out to love that was never there? Is he crying out to a God who never cared? Is he crying to the mother who never gave two shits about him? Or does he stand there hollow eyed and quiet, working up the courage to jump, so it can all stop?

"My mom taught me how to lie. She always lied to the police, to everybody," he told a therapist after throwing scissors in school. "I lied when I was 1 year old, I lied when I was 2 years old. I was born a liar and I will always be lying," he said in another therapy session.

"[The] devil makes me lie and do all those bad things. He is bad and he makes you do bad things," the boy told the therapist.

"I used to have some imaginary friends. I still have one but I haven't been talking to him a long time," Myers reportedly said.

Gabriel Myers wasn't killed by his crackhead mother, he wasn't killed by boy who molested him, he wasn't killed by the shower head that he hanged from; Gabriel Myers died long ago, in a room by himself, alongside his innocence.

What the fuck does it take? What the fuck does it take for people to start caring? Does it take a god damn second grader to hang himself for people to wake the fuck up? There is only one fucking thing in this world that matters and its love. Fuck this god damn society and all its bullshit. Fuck every parent out there who doesn't tell their children that they love them. Fuck everyone one of you because this is what happens when people don't care. What the fuck will it take for us to start caring?

Gabriel Myers. Don't you ever forget his name.
