I
don’t care how long this is, every single person should
read this.
You’re
sitting in your room ~ door locked ~ with a pen in your hand
and a blank piece of paper infront of you. Your hand is
shaking, and the tears begin again - for the third time in the
past hour. ‘To my family’ you write at the top of
the page, but decide it’s a bad way to begin your letter
~ your suicide letter. You try again, start over ~ again and
again, but you don’t know where to begin. No one
understands you; no one knows what you’re going through,
you’re alone or at least that’s what you think.
Nobody would care if you’re alive or not, you mean
nothing to nobody. It’s night, and you slip into bed.
’Goodbye’ you whisper into the darkness. And with
that, you take your last breathe and end it all. No body cares,
right? Well you thought wrong. It’s a Tuesday the
following morning, and when it’s 7:21, your mother comes
and knocks on your door. She doesn’t know you can’t
hear her she doesn’t know you’regone. She knocks a
few more times, calling your name to open up. When there is no
reply from your side of the door, she opens it and screams. She
collapses on the ground while your dad rushes to your room.
Your siblings have already left for school. Your very weak
mother collects all the energy she’s got which is close
to nothing to walk over to your bed. She leans over your dead
body, crying, squeezing your hand, screaming. Your dad is
trying to stay strong, but the tears escape his eyes; calling
000 or 911 with his left hand while his other one is on your
mother’sback. Your mother blames herself. All those times
she had said ‘no’ to you, all those times she had
screamed at you, and sent you to your room over something
stupid. Your father will blame himself for not being there for
you when you asked for help, for being away from home at work
for long. Nobody cares, right? 8:34. There’s a knock on
your classroom door it’s the school principle. She looks
more worried than ever. She calls the teacher to the side; all
the students worried: what’s going on? The principle then
later announces about your suicide. The popular girl that
always called you fat and ugly is now blaming herself.The kid
that would always copy your homework but treat you like crap ~
he’s blaming himself. The boy that sits behind you ~ the
one that always threw things at you during class ~ he’s
blaming himself too. The teacher is blaming herself - for all
those times she’d scream at you for forgetting your
homework, or not listening in class. People are crying,
screaming, shocked, in regret of what they did. They’ll
all be devastated - even the kids you’ve never talked to
before. Still nobody cares about you, right? Your siblings get
home. Your mother has to tell them that you’re gone;
forever. Your little sister ~ no matter how many times
she’s screamed at you, told you she hated you and stole
your stuff ~ always loved you, and saw you as her hero; her
role model. She now starts to blame herself; why didn’t I
do what she told me to do when she told me to? Why did I take
her stuff even when she asked me not to? This is all my fault.
Your brother gets home ~ the boy that never cries. He’s
now in his room; mad at himself ~ he caused your death. All
those times he’d played pranks on you. He’s
punching holes in his wall, turning over things; he
doesn’t know how to deal with the fact that you’re
gone. Forever. Nobody cares about you, right? Right? It has
been over a month. The door to your room has been closed all
this time. Everything is different now. Your brother has to be
sent to anger management classes, your little sister cries
everyday still waiting for you to come back. Everyday she waits
for you to come back home. The popular girls have now turned
anorexic. They don’t know how to deal with the pain that
they’re feeling. Your father has depression; your mother
hasn’t slept for nights it’s all her fault.
She’s been crying and screaming every night wishing for
you to come back. The boy who would always bother you dropped
out of school. The boy that copied your homework now cuts. But
nobody cares about you, aren’t I right? Your mother
finally decides to go clean out your room. But she can’t
do it. She’s locked herself in your room for two days to
try to clean up your clothes, your things. But she can’t
she can’t say goodbye to you, not yet, not now. Never.
It’s your funeral. It’s a big one ~ everybody
comes. No one knows what to say. The beautiful girl with the
big smile is gone; you’re somewhere else. No one knows
what to say, they’re all still shocked. Everyone cries,
everyone misses you. They all wish you’d come back but
you don’t, and you won’t. Still think nobody cares
about you? Think again. Even if people don’t show it,
they care about you, they love you. If you kill yourself today
or any other day you won’t know just how much you meant
to people. If you kill yourself today, it stops your pain, but
it pains all the ones who know you for the rest of their life.
Suicide is the easy way out - but it’s the wrong choice.
Life is beautiful. Yes, it does have its ups and downs everyone
has their bad days. Sometimes people go through tough times in
their lives like you’re probably going through now but
bad times come and go. You might not see the light at the end
of the tunnel, but it’s there. No matter how hard life
gets, never give up on yourself, or on your life. Take a minute
now, and think. If you killed yourself ~ how would the people
that love you feel/go through? Can’t think of anything?
Well I’ll tell you: tears, tears, and more tears.
Devastation. Guilt. Pain. Broken. Regret. Miserable. If after
reading this you still feel suicidal, there are people that can
help you. I’m here for you whenever you need me, and
I’ll be more than happy to listen to you and try to help
you feel better. There are teachers, parents, grandparents,
neighbors, adults, councilors ~ they’re all there for you
whenever you need them. WE ALL LOVE YOU AND CARE FOR
YOU
