Suicide

Yesterday she killed herself by hanging from the ceiling It carried her weight but she could not She was everyday troubled by the future worries All she wanted a good tight sleep, away from all the distress and depression Hence she ultimately chose to sleep forever leaving just a small note behind Note to thank her parents for taking care of her For bringing her to this beautiful world Note to thank her brother for making her smile For engaging her in his little games which took away the sorrow for some seconds. It was not an easy step It was a step she always wanted to avoid but couldn’t. It was not a sudden random step but the one which was very carefully choosen A step taken by fighting her own thoughts Fighting her own body But she chose it Chose it to completely end Completely end not only her life but also her grievances and torments She fought, fought with the whole world But at last lost Maybe she was afraid of getting called a failure A word which bothered her, haunted her A word which affected her so deeply that she chose to end herself A word which terrified her more than death From getting straight A’s to barely passing her tests From loving to communicate with everyone to barely speaking to her own parents From being extrovert to introvert From loving colours to attaching to black A colour which she hated but now loved like hell From having several friends to none by her side She saw all.... She felt everyting but never expressed. She tried, tried very hard to make her parents proud, tried every possible way to please them but couldn’t Her parents gave her all happiness She got everything she wanted Her parents barely bought for themselves But always got the best for her They spent their hard earned money like water for her smile But she was not able to make them proud She was not able to meet up with their silent expectations No they never forced or pressurized her They always supported her But she a overthinker could not see her parents working hard, neglecting their health for her while she could not even make them smile. No she doesn’t blame anyone for her... She blamed herself She thought of herself as a complete failure A disgrace for her family A frustrated, defeated and born loser Incompetent and disappointment And she left the world with a smile on her tender face....
