It’s like when someone says, β€˜How are you?’ Do you say, β€˜Well, my head hurts and I’m lonely and depressed and I’m worried about everything and the world is collapsing and full of evil’? Or do you say, β€˜I’m fine’?
Sara ShepardThe Visibles
(via wordsnquotes)

‘Take me,’ I plead. ‘Please, take me!’

But Death does not seem to hear my cries and proceeds to take someone else’s life.

So I sit there with my bleeding heart, and think to myself how unfair it is that they had to die when they were so happy to be alive… how unfair it is when I would’ve been so happy to have died in their place…

But it’s decided then: if Death won’t come to me, I’ll bring myself to Death…

I’m having a battle inside of me
And I think, I’m about to lose.
Sorry, if I’m not a fighter like you
But, this is the best thing that I can do.
I want to escape, this world isn’t my place
And I think, I’m just a waste of space.
I can’t deal with the pain anymore.
Sorry but I’m almost ready
And they’re waiting for me.
This is it world,
Good bye.

Sometimes, I wonder why I’m alive because right now, I don’t care if I’ll die. Why? I’m badly hurt, depressed, broken and lost. Look at my wrists, they will tell you my story. You can see scars on my physical body and soul. I’m losing the ones I loved, I get used to see people walk away from me. I’m stuck in my past. I can’t get out. I feel I’m a huge failure and everything that I will do will be a mistake. I feel that I don’t have a place in this world. I’m just a waste of space. I don’t want to be here anymore, I just want to disappear.
Sometimes, I wonder why did you give me this life if you will just take everything away from me. From the things that make me feel happy, to the people that I love. Answer me, do you have anything left for me? Because, as I can see, I’m completely surrounded by loneliness. I’m trapped within the walls of fear and darkness. And it slowly consumes me. I feel so far away from you, from your grace. There are days, I can’t breathe. My chest hurts so much, I feel like I’m dying inside of my body. I’m tired. I’m so unbearably tired of everything and everyone. I’m tired of being in pain every day. I’m tired of being left behind. All I want is to let sleep take over me. The world is crumbling around me and I’m going to shatter any moment from now. And it makes me feel that my existence is just an option and my mind tells me that I need to jump into the dark abyss. To feel nothing, to end the misery. I’m searching for the open door, please set me free. I’m sorry, I can’t fight anymore.
But you don’t get it; I am not okay.
I will never be okay.
And I can never tell you that,
no matter how many times I’ve fantasized about death
today.

When I finally get to be alone, I am digging nails into my skin, hating myself. I can feel the darkness becoming a bigger part of me.
