Collapsing to my bed out of exhaustion.  I wipe the last tear off my cheek, as I gently tap my hoodie sleeve against my left arm to clean up the blood slowly dropping from the cuts I had placed on my arm to remind me how much of a failure I am.

My door creaked open,  I pulled my long sleeve down as fast as I could and clenched on to the blade that was still in my hand.  "Is everything okay? I heard screaming..." My mother said with a concerned look on her face as she looked around my room.  I wanted to tell her the truth but she wouldn't understand.. "It's alrightI'm fine..  I-I I was just trying to sing this song I found..  It's really good..  Screamo..  That's all.. " My mum smiled and left my room.  Leaving me alone in the dark once more with these monsters. There's no escape they are always here, like a hungry lion stalking it's pray.

I got up and placed the blade inside of the drawer next to my bed. I then ran down stairs and locked myself in the bathroom.  Turned the shower on and waited for it to heat up.  I looked at my self in the mirror, all I could see was fear and regret,  shame. And of course my young empty soul. I stripped down and climbed into the shower. My arm began to sting as the warm water pounded off the wounds.

A sharp static sound rushed through my ears mixed with screaming calling me out..
"END IT HERE! "
                
                       "LOOK AT YOU! "
                                              *STATIC*
"YOU DISGUST ME"
            "DIE"         " KILL YOURSELF"

*STATIC*
           "You're better off dead"

I dropped to the bottom of the tub, putting me head on my knees.  More tears began to drop.  I just want it to end,  WHY WON'T IT END?!

Please...

           Just make it stop.
