(This is your point of view)

The tapping sound came from the window, but it would change where the tapping came from, nothing more of tapping, till it got closer. You always hear the sound at 2 AM. That's when it starts, and it ends finally at 6 AM. You never knew why it happened, All you knew, is you let it win. You let it take control of yourself. You didn't try to stop it. You're trapped in the same cycle.
Some days you thought, "If I end it now, will it be over?."
But you were wrong, you tried to end it. Nothing stopped. It's driving you insane by now. The others think you've gone mad.
You agreed at times, but in your mind you know this is all true. How can it not? It speaks to you, hateful words filling into your mind. You wanted this to stop for years, it just won't listen. We all wonder why.
You have these "friends" That say they believe you, but in reality
When they're not near you, they speak of horrible wording towards you. You hear it all, no doubt about it. Night 1, The tapping was slow, and quiet. Maybe a tap every hour? Night 2, It's downstairs. Night 3, It's half way up the stairs, making a creak. Night 4, It's almost at the top of the stairs making a low laugh, deep and dark of voice. Night 5, it's at the top of the stairs, you start to hear the whispers, "Leave...." Night 6, You hear it just going down the hall, Scratching the walls. Night 7, It's soon to be at your door, making you want to cry. Night 8, You hear it. Outside your own door. Night 9, It opens the door, making a long creak along opening it. Night 10, The last one. It enters the room, staring at you whispering the same words over and over, "Worthless, Horrible, Mistake, Waste of space, Hopeless case..." You got tired of it, you put the blade to your throat and slid it across, Watching your vision starting to fade. It's over..You let your inner demon win...
The demon makes an evil grin as your lifeless body falls, all goes black.
You think it's over, till
You wake up.
You're not alive anymore, You're dead, seeing all the others that let the demon win, you feel as you belong here, with others that understand you. You're safe finally...finally safe.

Welp, I tried, tell me what you think. Btw, Suicide nor self harm is NEVER the answer, if you feel down, just ask me stuff. I feel proud of actually making this.
