NOUN

1.feelings of severe despondency and dejection.

"self-doubt creeps in and that swiftly turns to depression"

Tears creep their way down my cheek, leaving small red streaks where ever they go. I look up at myself. The mirror on my wall it cracked and faded. Small chunks of glass are missing here and there. I focus my attention to the door. It rattles softly, someone's trying to get in. The lock on the door slowly turns. I hear a small click and turn away, mentally preparing myself for what is about to happen.

My mother walks in slowly, and approaches me. She places a gentle hand on my shoulder, as if she is comforting me. The hand starts to squeeze my shoulder. She stands me up, and places her other hand on my shoulder. I'm slammed into a wall, picked back up, and the process repeats itself. She throws me towards the wall one last time, and begins kicking me. As hard as possible, she kicks me in the stomach. The small open wound on my head begins to bleed, and I feel various substances filling my mouth. They drip out causing a reddish stain on the floor. She spits a few profanities at me, and walks out of my room.                                                                                                       

I vomit on the floor, from sheer pain and exhaustion. I attempt to reach for my phone, but I cant move. My room is freezing, but I'm burning up. I feel the sore on the back of my head throb as I cry. Laying on my side,in a fetal position, I attempt to sleep.

If I'm lucky... I'll die in my sleep.
