She
had a scalpel in her hand.She mustered
the courage and brought it to what seemed like fine green thick lines on her wrist.Her hands had
stopped shaking and mouth was dry..but the pain did not abate a bit.What and who was she supposed to think of
before she left..Did they deserve to know about her?Did they care? If they did
she might not have been in this position today would she? She thought of
leaving behind a note.. Not because she wanted the world to know why she is
leaving,but just not to let them assume things like they always did.She was
also a human, might not be everything that they thought her to be or expected
of her to become but she was very much made up of a heart that was capable of
feeling and yes she had blood that could boil. They can see the blood after she
leaves maybe that might prove that she was just one of them.That is what she was
leaving behind , a pool of blood in the room, a lifeless body that would be
visible to everyone. A heart released of the pain, a broken
soul and a stream of unfulfilled dreams that would remain wrapped up in darkness.
The pain she was suffering was something she could not stand anymore. Who says
she is weak? She is just tired of being strong.
What difference would a good bye note make? It isnt going to be laminated
and hunged up anywhere. Maybe the good bye note may lead to yet another criticism
and disappointment. Its not like it
would matter anymore. But who is to be
responsible for this? No doubt its going to be her. Cowardly act indeed. But she did ask for help did not see? But was
she ever noticed or understood? Maybe
she should finally vent it all out before leaving. The thoughts destroyed her even more. Was she
supposed to be thankful sorry or just another complaining human being. She did
not want to play the blame game. Hasn’t there been enough of the blaming
shaming stuffs in her life?Its just her ,she is in pain, she wants to end it. She tried, she did all she could. But she had
come to a point in her life where giving up seemed easier. They might say it is
not the right thing to do. But nobody lived her life, nobody walked in her shoes.
She lived it. Maybe she should let them know everything how exactly she felt.
She could not write anything and looked at the blank paper. It remained empty
with stained tear marks. She could not have described it any better. That is
how she felt.
So that was it one impulsive move and it will all end. She kept
telling herself “do it, do it, you can do it.” There was silence in the room.
If insensate things could ever feel then maybe they were also waiting for the
end, specially the clock which tick tocked impatiently every second. Time never
waits! That’s right. She whispered “do it and just free yourself,what are you
waiting for?what do you want?” She heard that heavy sound from within, that was
her heart beating fast like really fast. As if it was pleading her to let it
beat, it did not want to stop beating irrespective of how it felt. It spoke "give it a chance just for tonight." What a fool she was! she
thought dying would be easier than living!! She was weak because she wanted to end it and at the same time not strong enough to end it.
She threw the scalpel back into the drawer. Opened her diary and
scribbled “same shit, another day sorry night.” And there dies another pen, another broken nib.
