I Can't Drown My Demons, They Know How To Swim

Missing: 23-year old boy Height: 5'11 and was last seen yesterday. He was a bright, tall, and attractive young man. He has always excelled in his studies and has always been at the top since he was a child. From kindergarten until university. In elementary school, he was valedictorian, and in high school, he received the highest awards. When you look at their family, you can tell they're just like any other happy family. If you look at their family photos, you'll notice that all of his siblings and parents appear to be happy, except for him. He was seated in the corner, attempting to keep his gaze away from the camera. There isn't a single photograph of him smiling at the camera. If you take a picture of him, he won't smile or even look at it. He was the type of guy that would give you flowers and handwritten letters. The type of guy that will never put his hands against you. You can tell he has everything by looking at him: the face, the brain, and everything else. He is truly attractive because he has a good-looking face. Everything was fine before his disappearance. But then, before he disappeared, they were having an argument with his parents about a certain misunderstanding. Then he left their home without bringing a single penny with him. He only had his phone with him. At first, his mom didn't worry that much because she thought that his son might just go to a place to relax, unwind and cool down. But not until late at night, when he still hadn't arrived. That's the time when his parents start to worry about him because he's not home yet. The next day, they started to look for him. His parents and siblings asked all of his classmates if they had seen their brother, but all of them had no idea where he went. It's been 24 hours and he is still nowhere to be found. His mom decided to post on every social media site about her son, hoping that someone might see him. They even look for him in other places and in the community. His mom was very worried about her son because she knew that he was not that talkative and was worried that something might happen to him. The next day, they saw a Facebook post about a lifeless body of a guy **A lifeless body of a man was found in the mangrove area this morning.** They still have no idea who the guy was because it was lying facing the ground. But everything was accurate, especially the figure of his body. At first, they were hoping that it wasn't their son. But not until the parents saw the actual photo and then burst to tears. They couldn't believe that their son would actually do things that way. At his funeral, his mom received an email from his son and it was a scheduled email. *Mom, Dad,* *Please don't think that it's your fault. It was all my fault. He's been pulling me down and I couldn't take it anymore. Every night, there were voices inside my head that always keeps me awake at night until 5 am. I always ask myself what seems to be the problem with me, but I myself don't even know why. I couldn't take it anymore. I want to rest.* *I'm drowning, and  I couldn't drown my demons with me.*

We can't really tell what the person has been up to, or what was going on inside their head. They may be good at pretending that they are fine, but the truth is that they're drowning inside. They need help and need to escape from the demons inside their heads.
