How did I do this?
How could I swallow so many of them? Have I really gone insane, has
sewing and breathing became one? I know I shouldn’t leave
needles around- but really there was no harm, in fact it was
amusing to watch others or I get pricked. But this is not funny at
all, this is terrifying.
I’ve swallowed so many needles. I can’t remember how
many were in my mouth, I can’t even remember what I was
stitching together! That is all a hazy blur, useless information.
All I remember is the sharp pain of those needles going down my
throat- some stuck in the wall. Quickly I coughed up a few needles,
but those were only the loose ones from my esophagus, spit out by
blunt force. So I’m a bit panicked now, frozen in this state
of shock and terror. I need to tell my parents. I feel needles
poking the soft tissue of my stomach as walk carefully out of my
bedroom. Taking a slow inhale, I try to count the metal objects I
feel terrorizing my stomach, and a few still stubbornly stuck in my
throat. I’m panicking, the pain is real- but the fear is
running higher. The wave that drowns me will be made of terror, not
pain. I let out a small gasp, taking baby steps towards my parents,
because even as careful as I am moving the objects are penetrating
my organ. It’s damaged now- who knows what could leak into my
poor stomach.
Before I manage to say anything to my
father and mother, I puke in pure spite of stress. Stomach acid, my
last meal, various red chunks, and luckily a few needles pour out.
The needles had painfully came in contact with my inner neck, and
drew a bit of blood. I winced at the sharp feeling and began to
speak, only to be interrupted. “What is wrong with you girl?
So stressed about something you are going to tell us that you
puked? What are you hiding?” My mom asked sternly,
narrowing her eyes at the puke, clearly disgusted. I felt a bit
offended as a strain of stinky wet red hair blocked my view. Inside
me I felt the needles teasing me with the oddest, weirdest pain I
ever felt before. I twitched a few times, at surprise inner stabs,
before talking. How dare they question disloyalty of me during
this? “I s-swallowed needles! M-Mom! I need to go to the
d-doctor! Right-t now!” I stuttered a bit, clearly breaking.
My dad raised a brow but remained with droopy bored eyes. Mother
remained angry, and her expression seemed to harden a bit.
“You. Swallowed. Needles? How dare you?
Fine, of course will take you to the Doctor, we love you after
all.” She hissed, venom was on her voice, like I
interrupted something important. I dawned on me they were probably
busy fighting, but I was certain they’d head straight for the
car. Swallowing tiny swords wasn’t exactly something to be
calm about.
Shaking and squinting as they pricked
my insides I held my arms and shuffled outdoors. With loud heart
beats I head towards the white low car and opened a door. I
didn’t really want to sit down though, for such a movement
would cause the needle army to avenge their puked brothers. Instead
as I waited for my parents I stuck my finger in my mouth and tried
to make myself puke. It was successful and suddenly a wave of
bile and chunks swam past. I hurled into the grass, and fell
unintentionally. Rapidly increasing discomfort swept through me.
Not only were blades scraping off the top layers of inner skin as
it plunged out of my stomach, but the ones left behind bounced in
my stomach and forcefully stuck themselves into it. I groaned and
went limp in dry grass, accidently landing in my own waste. I knew
some would still be dancing around and would eventually reach my
colon. What would happen then? That was a tunnel- if this was
bad, oh no. If I were not already shuddering, I would
be.
Where are my parents? I
thought, tears started to fall from my eyes. The pain was not going
away. Remember that moment of pure surprise and pain when you
sticked yourself? That never went away. I couldn’t pay
attention to my surrounding, because my whole body was focused on
dealing with the stinging pressure. My parents should be here! They
should be picking me up and rushing me to the hospital- then it
would be all alright, they would perform some difficult surgery and
the pain would be gone, whether I died from overdose of pain pills
or they got all the pain pills out. The blaring of my parents angry
voices swarmed my ears, they seemed muffled though and uneeded.
Their argument was over something so pointless, so useless. Just
like my life. With heavier tears, and more collapsing pain, I
realized even in my most injured moments. I would die- die from
swallowing a thousand needles. This was god’s punishment, I
know now, he hated how much I disrespected life- how much I
despised it. So he granted my wish in a crooked way.
I’m going to die. But, I want to, these sharp pains have
started to make blood well from my gut and throat and I’m
starting to see that I want even know how this razor pointed
objects will exit. My family, that always said “I love
you”, “You can talk to me”,
“You can trust us”, “You can rely on
us”, as left me in my dyeing moment. Who knew needles
could draw so much blood? I thought in faint attempt of
humor. I wasn’t even coughing up bile anymore, red
liquid was just starting to slowly drain from my mouth. I
can’t remember if I’m shaking still, I can’t
remember where I am. What is this insanity? What is dripping into
my organ? It’s ok. It is just pain. It’s simply nerves-
I know I am going to lose my life, all I have to do is past the
last trial. This horrible, unbearable pain that makes me cramp and
fill my gut with acid is worth it. I’ve always felt trapped,
this society isn’t accepting, I never wanted to obey
Earth’s rules, I never wanted to continue on. Why complete a
game that ends the same for everyone? What is the point in
running fast if there is no finish line?
As I lay
in this vomit-covered grass, blood pouring from my mouth, making me
taste nothing but warped pennies, I have started to become numb.
Mind and physical body, for a faint moment I wonder if it is blood
loss but that was quickly forgotten. Looking around, at the back
porch, I see my mom swinging a class cup at my father’s
face from across the room, who was reaching for the deathly black
object in a holster. At this moment I close my eyes, allowing
nothing but the pain to affect me. It is in a way- quite charming,
I sickly admit. Leaving this mortal life, for something
unknown, but with the price of this terrible slowly fading
injury. Of course the mental wound had also been
bleeding for a large amount of time.
I don’t really know now. I
don’t really know how to feel, I’m- overwhelmed. The
needles just cause discomfort, and the thought of death equals to
happiness. But I was so betrayed, I was so alone, I was…
stupid. How could I ever think anyone else cared about? Sure, they
cared about the presence of me- my parents at least. But they only
cared about their daughter, I never mattered. I never
existed. My friends, who am I even kidding? In a
time of death I try to lie to myself? My friends are not
friends, they never came close to qualification. I was always
alone, and in my last breath I will be no different.
It is just cruel fate punishing the worst sinful thoughts from ever
becoming actions.
( Based upon a dream )
Notes:
- I am very scattered brain in both this dream, story, notes, and
life. I believe it is because I am losing my grip on reality, all
apologies. I had this dream yesterday night. It
is the only dream I have ever remembered and it has drawn me into
some thoughts.I always wish
for pain, I always wish to die. In this dream I get that, it is
very hard to handle but I still choose it over life, in hopes that
afterlife will exclude all of life’s matter.However I still wish that someone
would care about me, miss me, or remember me, as much as I hate
being dependent it is true. In this dream I have hit with the blunt
truth that this will not happen, and that all my suspicious were
correct.This dream created a
real feel of panic and anxiety. Which is something I suffer from
greatly.The reason my parents
were oblivious in the story, or simply annoyed is because how they
act towards me. I don’t know- they want to help me but
don’t? How can that work? I think this dream tried to explain
it. In the other small part they are busying fighting instead of
realizing my struggle. That happens a lot. The glass bit was just a
add in for my fear…I
feel guilty a lot for such dark thoughts, and it would make sense,
for any god or karma, to punish me for it. So swallowing needles
without remembering on accident seemed like a pretty tormenting
punishment. Not that there isn’t any more terrorifying way to
go. My “theory”
- The needle problem are the mental struggles I’m having.
My parents are the whole family- how they harshly ignore me,
and even seem to taunt me a little, even when I clearly have
evidence. Lying in the grass with puke was like laying in my
problems and not being able to drag myself out of them because of
the mental struggle. Me dying, well, perhaps that is the same- just
giving up and accepting myself into the mental insanity. Whether it
be my death or the padded cube room.

Good guys complain about being
looked over all the time by girls its not that we dont see you or
we have
never considered you. Its that we do see you and we have
considered you and the truth is that when you are with a good guy
and he ends up hurting u it hurts a HECK OF ALOT WORSE then when
your with a bad boy. Being with a bad boy you always know in the
back of your mind its not going to last and that one day he will
hurt you because you see it in how he treats you or how he speaks
or his body language to you. So the question is never if
he'll hurt you the question is when and how bad will he hurt
you. Good guys, good guys is diffrent because they treat you in a
way that makes you feel like A QUEEN ON TOP OF THE WORLD
and you tend to hold them above everything but to get
involved with one is scarier then it is to get involved with a
bad boy. Then the question stops being WHEN he'll hurt
you. The question is WILL he ever hurt you and dont kid yourself
into thinking it will never happen because it will. Lets face it
we are all humans. It's natural to mess up and when he hurts
you its going to hurt alot worse because without even realizing
it you have let your guard completely down because he's a
good guy v.s a bad boy when your guard is up maybe not all the
way up but its never down and im not saying all guys are this way
or all girls feel this way everybody have their own way of
looking at things this is just my way of thinking and i
understand not all bad guys are bad like not all good guys are
good i just feel that when a bad boy hurts you it dosent feel the
same as being hurt by someone u felt could do no
wrong.
Every experience gives you a
diffrient outlook on the world. This is just what my experience
have shown me.
"next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country 'tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"
