Rainpetal was told she didn't exist. No matter how she fought, the world seemed intent on erasing her... until she decided to erase herself.

"You do not exist."

They said that.

They thought that I was wrong.

They tried to erase me.

But I would not go.

~

"You are disgusting."

They said that.

They didn't understand me.

They tried to erase me.

But I would not go.

~

"You violate our traditions."

They said that.

<p style="text-align:center;">They believed my love is wrong.

<p style="text-align:center;">They tried to erase me.

<p style="text-align:center;">But I would not go.

<p style="text-align:center;">~

<p style="text-align:center;">"You cannot love her."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said that.

<p style="text-align:center;">They believed I was a monster.

<p style="text-align:center;">They tried to erase me.

<p style="text-align:center;">But I would not go.

<p style="text-align:center;">~

<p style="text-align:center;">"You threaten our lives."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said that.

<p style="text-align:center;">They were convinced I was evil.

<p style="text-align:center;">They tried to erase me.

<p style="text-align:center;">But I would not go.

<p style="text-align:center;">~

<p style="text-align:center;">"You will have to go away."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said that.

<p style="text-align:center;">They would not let me survive.

<p style="text-align:center;">They tried to erase me.

<p style="text-align:center;">But I would not go.

<p style="text-align:center;">~

<p style="text-align:center;">"You are not allowed here."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said that.

<p style="text-align:center;">They wanted me to die.

<p style="text-align:center;">They tried to erase me.

<p style="text-align:center;">But I would not go.

<p style="text-align:center;">~

<p style="text-align:center;">"You should end your life."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said that.

<p style="text-align:center;">They believed I was nothing.

<p style="text-align:center;">They tried to erase me.

<p style="text-align:center;">So I erased myself.

<p style="text-align:center;">~

<p style="text-align:center;">"She was loved."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said.

<p style="text-align:center;">"She was special."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said.

<p style="text-align:center;">"We all cared for her."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said.

<p style="text-align:center;">They lied.

<p style="text-align:center;">~

<p style="text-align:center;">"We tried to save her."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said.

<p style="text-align:center;">"We wanted to protect her."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said.

<p style="text-align:center;">"She was meant to live."

<p style="text-align:center;">They said.

<p style="text-align:center;">They lied.

<p style="text-align:center;">~

<p style="text-align:center;">All of this because...

<p style="text-align:center;">They thought I did not exist.

<p style="text-align:center;">So now,

<p style="text-align:center;">I do not.

<p style="text-align:center;">I have been erased.

<p style="text-align:center;">And they are all fine.
