The peaceful silence of death

by Reyna   Jun 22, 2012


Hearing voices in my head. Telling me I'm worthless and better dead. Crying out amongst the noise. Screams from my throat not connecting to my voice.

Listening to this mass cacophony till I can't discern my pleas from the enemy's.

Holding my hands over my ears. I wonder how much more of this I can endure. Stumbling into the bathroom I lock the door.

I head straight to the cabinet where I know there is a cure. Something that will create silence even if it's eternal.

I open bottle after bottle and swallow the contents. But the noise is still there and ever drilling, so constant.

I fall to my knees and everything begins to fade. The pain is numb and the noise still stays. Till that last moment when the only thing left is the sound of my heart beating in my chest.

It slowly fading as my eyes begin to close. Till I'm left in a peaceful silence...my overdose.

    Sad and well known feelings, when everything just seems so bleak and without emotions that you just wish for it all to end... Good job,keep it up! Although I would suggest you try to write a piece in quatrains(if that`s the word, not sure, i mean when you write like i 4 or so lines roughly same length with a lil of rhyme behind them) because I think you are doing quite good job there and I think you can handle that ^^.

    P.S. It would look something like -

    Hearing voices in my head.
    Telling me I'm worthless and better dead.
    Crying out amongst the noise.
    Screams from my throat not connecting to my voice.

    although then you could prolong or shorter some lines to make it about roughly same length, like -

    Laying still I hear whispers in my head;
    Telling me I'm worthless and better off dead.
    Crying out amongst the overwhelming noise.
    Screams from my throat can`t to my voice.

    Just my opinion of course, not pushing anything on you! Take care and keep on writing ^^
