Escaping Life

The Rope

Dani went home and she decided to stay for awhile just to think.

Would anyone care if she jumped?

Does anyone care now?

Her eyes flood with tears and they begin to roll down her cheeks.

She gets in her car and leaves, a song coming on in the car.

Skyscraper by Demi Lovato.

Skies are crying

I am watching

Catching tear drops in my hands

Only silence, as it's ending

Like we never had a chance.

Do you have to, make me feel like there's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am.

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

And go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

She loves this song, but it just doesn't seem realistic to her.

How could she rise up, when people are constantly tearing her down?

It's so hard, impossible to her.

She goes straight up to her room and stares at the torture device known as her laptop.

'Please don't pick it up'

Her sister's voice repeats in her head, but she just can't resist.

She hesitantly picks it up.

The first comment she sees is

'Go kill yourself b****.'

The tears automatically come to her eyes.

She sees,

'Ew, ugly as s***.'

'Stupid'

'Fat'

'Freak'

These words have ruined her life.

These people don't see what they are doing.

She doesn't understand how people can sit behind a computer, click anonymous, and say 'kill yourself'

How could anyone be so cruel?

The tears stain her cheeks.

She grabs the blade again, and makes large gashes in her wrist, the familiar sting hitting her.

She doesn't care though.

The pain inside she is feeling is much worse.

'What are you doing?' she hears a voice behind her.

She turns around and finds her mom.

Her mom is crying.

'Go away!' she yells at her mom.

'Go away! You don't care, no one cares! I hate you, I hate me, I hate everyone!' she yells in between sobs, her face red.

Her mom is so worried for her daughter.

'Everyone wants me dead! I should be dead!'

'Give me the laptop.' she says, grabbing the laptop.

'No! No no!' she cries.

Her mom takes the blade.

'Don't you see though? They want this! They want me to see it and kill myself. So I'll let em, I'll happily kill myself. I even want me dead.'

She is going insane.

Her mom cries.

'I don't like seeing you like this.'

'Well I'll put you out of your misery then! You'd all be better off without me anyway!'

'That's not true. We love you. It'll be ok.' she tries to comfort her daughter.

'Sissy?' her sister says in the doorway.

'Go away Lizzy.' her mom says.

'Just leave me alone!' she says to her mom.

She makes her mom leave and continues to cry.

She throws things around.

She doesn't care.

All she wants is to not even be alive.

She grabs her phone and goes on twitter and tweets,

'You want me dead? Fine, you're getting what you want. Goodbye.'

She clicks send, tears streaming down her face, wanting to scream.

She goes and grabs a rope.

She ties it to the ceiling fan, and stands on a chair.

She cries, and takes one foot off the chair.
