The Voices Say... #MindOverMatterContest

The voices say too...

#MindOverMatterContest

Adam a man lost in his own world, taken and destroyed by the world & himself.
He sat alone, in the darkness of his room with a gun in hand and a bottle in the other. With every passing moment his mind took more control. He took sips of the cold alcohol drink in his hand and slowly opened and closed his eyes. Trying to wake up from what he thought was a nightmare. A nightmare in which his own thoughts consumed him. The kinds that bring you down, that slowly but surely get to you.

With voices who tell you that you're worthless.
A nobody.
A man not worth breathing the air, or wasting the space in this world.

"Do it. Pull the trigger, end it now. "

"You'll feel better"

Adam cried. "No. I can't and I won't. I have a family a wife and a life to live"

"Do it. You re a waste of space anyways" said the the whispers in Adams head that only grew louder.

"DO IT. DO IT. DO IT"

With his tear stained face and hands clenched in his hair he screamed.

"NO. NO. NO. "

Teeth clenched and face contorted in pain he silently laid on the floor staring at the dark ceiling feeling the walls of the room come closer and closer. Until he felt trapped, lost and confused.

His trembling arms shot up in front of his face trying to protect him of what he thought was the end.

With one last breath he slowly lifted the gun that laid beside him on the ground. A trembling hand pointed it at his head.

With the feeling of no self control his finger slightly touched the trigger. Adam was "ready" for what he said was the end of the voices and the suffering.

Seconds later a loud bang was heard. The house and room went silent for what felt like an eternity. Until the cries of Adam shook the house.

"Noooo. I won't give in. I'm strong... strong enough to fight you away from me".

His hazel Brown eyes were filled with tears...he stood up and walked to the near restroom. He closed the door and slowly lifted his head to find him staring at his reflection.

He poked his head and with gritted teeth he spoke.

" You won't get the best of me. They need me as much as I need them. "

With one last look of determination he threw the gun on the floor and made his way to the people who he had been pushing away. The people who only wanted to help him, and the people who would be his light in the dark world of his mind.

Dedicated to my idol.
