Personal Narrative: Are You Worth It?

Improved Essays
A room surrounded by individuals, individuals that smiled, smiles that grew into laughter that could be heard from far, one would often smile too. But was it genuine? We all experience sorrow, but to what degree? I wondered how others would act like everything was fine. The only wish I had was to go home and hide.
The red melting candles dripped the wax through the white cake. This year I wish I was gone and they all cheered without knowing. I’m not strong anymore, I’m actually quite tired. Every day I discover something new about me that I hate. There seems nothing that could stop it, as like if I am trapped in a current and there is a waterfall coming soon. I want to live, yet I want to die. What should I do tonight?

So young and so insane. I miss the old me. I really do. I entered my psychiatrist’s office as the technicians escorted me from the daily recreational therapy. “Do you feel like hurting yourself?” he asked for the fifth time this week.”No”, I lied. “I feel much better but I do miss home.” That was true, I really did miss home. This place made me feel worse and the medication was changing me in a very drastic way. I couldn’t feel anything and I was desperate to leave. The next day I got released. I had it all planned already, I was sick of being in this never ending battle with my …show more content…
I had vanished without a tell to the world and that was okay. You see life made no sense, so why have it. While I layed on the freshly washed blue bedspread that my mother had done earlier that day, I felt a relief. I felt tranquil and you could it hear it in my breaths that were cutting shorter. The numbness in my body was great. The quietness of “nothing” was everything and I was ready to let go.
I woke up and glanced around. I felt pain, this time it was physical. I discovered some bruised veins on the top of my hands, as if the connecting process was done in a rush. I was in the hospital and on my way to the mental institution again.This time I told myself I would give it my all. I was tired of seeing my parents suffer; I was going to do it more for them than for me. I was fed up with my mind and with the reality I was surrounded by. I was going to win this battle or die trying. After all what was the worst that could

    I stood on top of the moving train watching hundreds of people pass by, living their meaningless, monotonous lives. Tugging at my bare chest, the wind’s coarse fingers dragged its claws down my face over and over until I remembered my current predicament. I constantly have nightmares, which I’ve been accustomed to calling dreams, of the day my mother died. I remember the day vividly; I remember watching my mother succumb to the angels of death. I remember a pool of my mother’s blood travel to the bottom of my shoes, as her lifeless body dropped to the ground and enveloped not only my lungs with fear but also every thought in my mind.…

    I nestled in the suffocating sheets of the bedding in my room, the room I had been confined to since the tragedy. The tragedy that twisted my once perfect life into a tumbling spiral of pure sorrow that I couldn't grasp. I breathed raggedly peering into the complete blackness of the room. I listened to the constant echoes of the machines that pumped medicine into my fragile body. I felt that I didn't deserve it because of the misfortunes that I caused.…

    Joe Leaming, an old friend who had owned Porsches, lived in Tucson and while there, I show him my new Porsche and saw his gray 356C Cabriolet. Joe knew more about Porsches than anyone, and he related that Porsche just released the new 6-cylinder 911. That intrigued me because the 356 was short on power and had significant vibrations. He told me about the oversteer problem, but that wasn’t of concern since I didn’t push cars to their limits. I enjoyed seeing him and was interested in the 911. Overall, the Tucson visit was constructive with little to no family controversy and…
