Unknown Tragedy

The words jabbed at her like knives. She knew what she had done was a mistake, but everyone was making it worse. She was slowly dying, no one realizes it because they're too worried about hurting others. Her life was slowly falling apart, all because of one mistake. Something that makes everyone turn on her. She stood in her room looking at herself in the mirror. "Worthless" a small tear escaped her eye as she whispered the word. That one tear drop caused destruction, she had picked up her brush and threw it at the mirror. Shards of glass falling onto the soft carpet. Her screams were unheard by everyone, not because they ignored her, but because the screams were on the inside. All the pain she had held in brought her to this moment in life. She slowly walks over to the broken glass and picks up a sharp piece staring at herself through it, contemplating on whether she should go through with it or not. When she had made her decision she slowly crept to her door, locking it. She sat down, her back pressed against it. Lifting up her sleeve she took a deep breath and slid the glass along her arm, feeling everything release. A sigh of relief came between her parted lips as tears continued to fall. She had finally made her decision, this time there was no regret.
