Personal Narrative-It's 12 Am

Decent Essays
It’s 12 AM.

I now know what it is to walk down an unlit street at midnight and have a gun cocked in your mouth. I know what it is to discover that gun shaking in your own hand.

I have swallowed more pints of regret than you pump blood through your whole body

2:37AM

I went as far as to hold a bottle in my hand but couldn't bring myself to swallow because your name was stuck in my throat.

3 AM

    Sometimes, addiction is not always easy to identify until someone brings the symptoms to life. To do this, I mentioned specific instances when people ignore those around them for Twitter. Once the audience realizes that this is relatable, hopefully they will get the idea that it is time to take a break. Another strategic aspect of the poem is that in the beginning I decided to have a first person point of view, speaking as if I was the one infatuated. Towards the middle, I changed the pronoun from “I” to “you” to shift the attention on the audience rather than the speaker of the poem.…

    My fingers graced their way down my cheeks and back onto my bed. The pitter-patter of rain and my constant sobs filled my ears to compose a symphony that only I would enjoy. All was silent till I looked over to the clock again, 4:24 AM, and my eyes still wouldn’t shut. Turning over, I grabbed ahold of my phone and played a song.…

    What Was I Doing I woke up at eight o’clock in the morning like any other day. I got out of the bed and pulled open the curtains to see what a beautiful day it was outside. The sky was crystal blue; the sun was shining, with a slight breeze. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. I went to the kitchen poured a glass of orange juice; and made some bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast.…

    Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…

    The day started like any other Monday, waking up to the super bright blinding light shining through my window. Ugh how I loathe waking up like this, forcing my eye lids to open up and allow for my sight to kick I only resulting in them sling-shoting shut again. I continue with this common practice for another 20 minutes or so before I rise from my mildly comfortable bed. I'm awake I gather my things and package my iPad and charger. And I head out to my dads truck where I put my bags and return to house to look for a morning snack, which I don't have any luck with.…

    It couldn’t have been past 10 a.m. when the alarm went off. We all knew what it meant- we were firefighters, it’s what we do. The fire chief told us that an apartment complex in downtown Boston had gone ablaze, and that it was really bad. We quickly got into our uniforms and hopped on as the fire truck left the station. We were a few miles away before I saw the smoke, a dark giant against the bright blue sky.…
