Vic
Pain is wonderful....well at least thats what I think when I look down and see the faded scars that cover my wrists. The world doesn't need me and so I don't understand why I'm still here and not six feet under. I lay in my not so comfortable bed looking at the white walls that will surely drive me insane. I look at the clock and sigh.
4:38 a.m
In two hours my nurse will come in with the pills that I need to take. Oh whatever will I do in the next two hours. Sleep is out if the question since I can barely close my eyes without thinking of that night. To see those eyes peering from above, I lay there vulnerable and weak. "Pathetic" I say outloud to the voice that screams to me at night.
Next thing I know my door is being slammed open and a nurse comes walking in forcing me a cup of pills. I shakily take them from her and swallow then show her that I actually swallowed them. "How much sleep did you get last night Vic?" she says in a calm and friendly voice.
silence
"Vic, you need to answer me if you want to get better and get out of here."
The thing was did I want to get better? I look back at the scar on my hip and look back up into the nurse's eyes. I wanted to get out of here but how was I to leave if I didn't kniw what I needed help with. "Like 3 hours" I mumbled quietly to the nurse. She scribbles something on her clipboard and walks out the room. I lay back down and try to go back to sleep without having the reoccurring nightmare.
"Pain is an ugly game" She says and then everything goes black.
