A Requiem for Me

A man always saw life as a tragic gift. He was forced to walk a path he never chose, yet every mistake he made only deepened the guilt he carried. He blamed himself for every burden he had placed upon the people around him, especially those he loved. The more he looked back on his life, the more he saw himself as a failure—someone undeserving of their love, kindness, and sacrifices. In the end, his guilt and self-loathing convinced him that there was only one way to repay everything he had done. He chose death, believing it was the only price worthy of his failures—a punishment he deserved for being the burden he believed himself to be. All he wished for was a requiem—a final farewell to the life he believed he had never been worthy of. Only one question echoed in his mind: "Can I finally get my requiem?"
