It starts with a thought; I think about all I have done with my life, all the people I have met. Then I start thinking about all the trouble I have caused them and how I have hurt them, I think of all times they were in trouble and I didn’t do anything.
‘But you weren’t even there.’
It doesn’t matter it’s my fault.
‘There was nothing you could do to help them.’
It doesn’t matter.
A sick feeling enters my stomach and there is a tight pinch in my chest that makes it hard for me to breath.
The thoughts still run through my mind.
It’s all my fault, I’m useless.
I feel like I’m going to be sick.
Everything would be better if I was dead.
My chest becomes tighter and it gets harder for me to breath.
I wish I was dead.
I want to cry, I want to scream.
I wish I was dead.
I try to scream but the sound gets caught in my dry throat.
Everything would be better if I was dead.
My eyes prick with tears that won’t come.
I wish I was dead.
I reach up to my head with my hand; I want to stop but I can’t. There is an itch under my skin that I need to end. My fingers look for that perfect, thick, black hair.
I wish I was dead.
My fingers find that perfect hair.
I want to stop, but I can’t.
My wrist twitches and my hand pull out that hair. A wave of calm washes over me and the sick feeling ends.
