I deserve to die! I didn’t see this coming…


I deserve to die! I can’t take it anymore…
I deserve to die! It is out of my control now…

Please don’t be mistaken. I love my twin sister. I love her very much. When we were young, we
did everything together. We shared all our stuffs to each other. We even know each other’s
secrets. She supported me in everything I do and made me feel that I will never be alone. Back
then, she’s not only a sister to me, but also a best friend I could ever have on my entire life.

But, everything changed. It all started when we reached high school. People around us keep on
comparing the two of us. She’s always the good daughter at home and I am the worst. She is the
smart student at school and I am the fool. They are so proud of my sister almost in all aspects,
and they looked down on me. They treated me as if I do not exist. I eventually hated her for all
these pains. I felt like I was left behind by the most important person in my life.

I have to do something, so I came up with a plan. During our recess, I put my friend’s wallet
inside my twin’s bag, intentionally. I want her to be blamed and reported at the guidance office.
It works and I feel good. From then, I continue making up stories for her to have bad records, at
least. Other students believed those lies easily and talked about her even online using their social
media accounts. These happenings made my twin sister out of focus on her studies. My parents
started to yell at her to show their disappointments. Somehow, I feel better than before.

However, despite of all these happenings to her, I notice that she never took blame on me. She’s
just quiet and very calm whenever we’re together. I started to worry and feel sorry. There were
times that I wanted to talk to her and admit everything I did, but I’m just so afraid.

Until one morning, I woke up with a heavy heart for what I’ve seen in front of me.
“Aaaaaahhhhh!” I screamed so loud like my world shattered. Her cold body was hanging from
the roof. She’s already gone... I saw a piece of paper on her bed with a heartfelt message: “My
twin sister, I’m so glad seeing your smiles again. Don’t worry, you can be happy now. I love you
forever!”
You can blame me now. You can judge me all you want. Lying is a form of violence and
violence is a crime. Because of my selfishness, I lost my twin sister, my best friend. Because I
was blinded by hatred, now, I am nothing and worthless.

I am the victim of my own little lies.
