This baby represents all that I feel.

All my life I suffered different problems - not developing like other children my age, falling behind in school only to consider my own death beginning at the age of 8...and then at 18 finally being kicked out of school for behavioural issues that were uncontrollable AND related to autism, then being kicked out of the house and living in the hospital for over 2 months. Metaphorically speaking I have been left for dead, meaning my self-esteem is alarmingly low and still yet deteriorating, and though I've been relocated to a home for persons with special needs, I hate being lumped together with people and I'd do anything to get out. All my life I've had friends come and go, but ultimately sometimes my teachers seemed to care more than my friends when I was in a rut. In my mind I am a much older version of the baby in that picture. That is the bottom line of all that I have just said.
