I’m so sad and tired I feel I’m just going through the same cycle every day I’m a loser and a failure as a father and a husband just a person in general I have nothing to offer anybody. like I’m just a shadow that nobody can see people say they care about me but I find it hard to believe I wish and pray that I would go to sleep and not wake up but I’m not that lucky and as much as I don’t want to live I’m a loser to do anything about it.
