WARNING This piece refers to suicide.
These suicidal thoughts on my mind are the actual reason why I’m broken,
Broken from inside why do they keep on coming back.no one knew about them
They all thought I was happy because my books cover looked beautiful but,
no one knew what was inside that Being beaten by you owe thoughts.
It felt as if demons were having a conversation with me
And I kept on hearing these voices telling me, I am not good enough.
They even forced me to kill myself why me? I kept on asking myself, I had no self-confidence and emotionally
I was paralyzed I was being tortured by my own thoughts, But Why meI feel like taking a rope and just killing.
But then I realised that there is more to me, that I’m beautiful, and that I have the ability to face everything that comes my way
