the suicide roomA Story by quietheartbeatsI AM NOT SUICIDAL. Nor have I ever self-harmed in any way. I was just inspired by the excellent film, The Suicide Room.Reality means nothing to you. You feel stuck in a
place where you are slowly suffocating. This feeling tears you apart inside. It
comes from within, from a place inside you but you feel as though it’s coming
from somewhere outside. So you are trapped in between, in a sort of limbo,
where life offers you nothing but being alone only drives you insane and into
self-loathing. The self-loathing drives deeper and deeper into you where it
takes root and consumes you. It takes over you and dictates everything you do,
say and think. You look at yourself as the enemy but also everyone around you.
It goes to a point where it makes you scream and claw at yourself. You’re
tearing at your chest as if you could actually take out the thing that was
making you feel this way. And you so desperately wish you could. And so you
try. You take the razor and slowly drag it across you wrists. You watch the
blood seep out, in hopes that the evil within you leaves too. You dig your
nails into your chest, screaming and crying out to get out whatever is inside
of you. Every moment of your excuse for a life is painstakingly agonizing. Each
second goes by alarmingly slow as the battle within you rages. You don’t know
who or what you’re fighting. You harm yourself, but that doesn’t work. But
there’s no one else to target so you continue to harm yourself. The cause of
the problem seems to be one huge entity, consuming you and everything around
you. It’s in the air that you breathe and in the blood that runs through your
veins. It slowly starts to make up the very core of your being. You are the
problem. Your life is the problem. The world is the problem. You don’t know
which one it is. You don’t know anything. You don’t know what is happening to
you or why you are feeling this way. There seems to be absolutely no outlet to
leave behind this godforsaken existence. Oh but there is. All of a sudden,
death welcomes you with heavy arms. This idea which had haunted you for so
long, which you have been taught to fear is now the only thing that you can
seek solace from. The pain that you feel when mutilating yourself is a reminder
that peace can truly be achieved. That it is tangible and will always be an
option. © 2012 quietheartbeatsAuthor's Note
