Personal Narrative: My Desire To Die

Decent Essays
I wanted to die. I didn’t want to be here anymore. I was close, too. I had been on the side of the bridge – the cold wind blowing through my hair. My eyes were focused on the tips of my shoes and the water beneath me. My heart was racing and I was breathing heavily, but I didn’t notice it – I had the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. The devil had made it to the opposite shoulder to smother the angel, and, hissing, it filled my head with obvious lies and plausible truths. The angel was trying to fight against the devil with tears running down its face, trying to break free. I couldn’t take it anymore. I was so sick and tired of feeling the way I did. During one of my late night fits or “episodes,” I guess it’s safe

    I don’t really have ten reasons that I will die alone, but I read that if you put a number in your post title you get more hits. Sorry for the deception, but since you are already here please read on. I may not have ten reason that I will die alone, but I firmly believe they will find me one day, lazy-boy in the recline position, a spilled glass of scotch by my side (hope it’s the cheap stuff; hate to waste anything good), my NETFLIX queue empty, and a cat sniffing at my rotting corpse (wait, I don’t have a cat – how did he get in here?) It may not work out exactly like that, perhaps I will go quietly in my sleep with family at my side, but I’m pretty sure I won’t leave a second wife behind as a widow.…

    "How do stories begin, how do others end, how do characters have their chance to ascend their fatal flaw?" I turn to Dulia with a perplexed expression, "I don't know the answer, sorry. Damn professors, trying to justify their lives with overly complex questions. " She laughs, "It's alright Auden, I'll do it tonight when I come back from the hospital. Do you need me to help you with you're homework?"…

    The most difficult decision I made this year was I knew one of my friends was suicidal, I went to the guidance counselor to go talk to her about him, but before I went to the office I had a huge internal conflict with myself debating whether or not to go and tell, the fear of me losing such a good friend but I wasn’t willing to lose a friend to suicide because I knew that I could have done something to prevent that. I went with my gut and told Mrs. Shuring luckily other kids had come to her and told to her about my friend. It kept running through my mind what would happen if nobody said anything? If everyone just kept that to themselves we would have lost Tommy, and how frightening is that.…

    A book tells a story, it tells the story of someone or something. Most of the time the story being told gets deeper into detail and tells things that wouldn't be said in the beginning. I made my collage a book to symbolize the different parts of me. There are three layers; what people see when they first see me, what my friends and family see from and in me, and finally that part that I hide from the world. When you first meet me I’m quiet and shy then slowly as you get to know me you learn what I’m passionate about but, you never learn about the part of me that is detached for the world.…

    There are things that I wish for more than anything else in existence, given they probably don 't even exist. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One is to live forever, to never die. I will never kill myself. This is absolute with my current state of mind, of course I can change in time however I want to hold on to this one, of many parts of my mind. The reason behind saying this is because many people ask: "Living forever would suck, you 'll watch everything around you die and wither away until your all alone, and you will never be able to die yourself to join them.…

    When I look up death in the dictionary it says: the act of dying; the end of life; the total, or permanent cessation of all the vital functions of an organism. There are several other definitions along with these, but none of these definitions make me feel anything. After reading the word death, I don’t feel anywhere close to the amount of disbelief, sadness, devastation, and loss that comes with physically mourning a loss. Sometimes you hear about deaths on the news, in books, from friends, on the radio, but you never really get emotional, or heartbroken about it because you don’t know them personally. But this became real to me all too quick.…
