“i dreamt that i died. for an instant, all the voices in my head stood calm, and for a moment, my heart stopped panicking, and for once in my whole life, my cheeks dried from all the tears that were falling every night ... i thought to my self: how nice it is to be finally dead, i wish i did it sooner.
my brother once told me that people who commit suicide are mostly doing it for attention. that's so wrong. i'm not asking for attention, nor sympathy. when i put that blade on my shaking skin alone in my room at 3 am, you should be sure that i'm not thinking of anyone and i'm not asking for anyone's attention. all i'm doing is pushing my self to stop the pain. you see, i don't want to die too, all i want is for the pain to stop and for me to smile like everyone else.
yasuko amaya - the day i decided to be God -”

“You are not your age
Nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight,
Or the colour of your hair.
You are not your name,
Or the dimples in your cheeks,
You are all the books you read,
And all the words you speak,
You are your croaky morning voice,
And all the smiles you try to hide,
You're the sweetness in your laughter,
And every tear you've cried.
You're the songs you sing so loudly,
When you know you are all alone,
You're the places that you've been to,
And the one that you call home,
You're the things that you believe in,
And the people that you love,
You are the photos in your bedroom,
And the future you dream of.
You are made of so much beauty,
But it seems that you forgot,
When you decided that you were defined,
By all the things you are not”

“–Anoche soñé que volaba… Saltaba desde muy alto y sentía mi cuerpo caer.
La confesión se escurrió de mis labios sin pensarlo, descansando aquella mañana al borde del hondo barranco de las afueras. Evoqué aquel sueño al contemplar el riachuelo que fluía a los pies del abismo sobre el que solíamos sentarnos, lo bastante profundo como para hacerme rememorar la punzada angustiante de la pesadilla, de aquel salto al vacío.
La respuesta mordaz de Ontromus no tardó en llegar, haciendo trizas todo posible misticismo:
–¿Y despertaste cuando tus sesos se estrellaron contra el suelo?”
