Almost too late

This is about a suicidal girl, obviously... I don't know why I didn't let her kill herself, you can decide the reason

She's sick

of this life she's been forced to live.

Stuck

in the world that doesn't have the time to care.

Hurt

by broken promises, empty forevers.

Cut

the knife brought to her wrist, a simpl movement filled with meaning.

Stop,

tears are running down her cheeks.

Look

into the mirror, at the clarity of her reflection.

Realize

how selfish she's being, the people that would hurt.

Contemplate

her mind wondering if she should do it anyway.

Stares

at who she is.

Knows

where she is.

Drops

the knife, letting it clatter on the tile.

Smile

shakily, but stand and walk away from thoughts of heavens she now realizes are fake

Author's Note

I do belive in heaven, and am slightly religious, but I thought that the fake heavens line wrapped it up nicely :)

I agree with jessica it isn't heaven as in religion but a heaven as being free from this life in my opinion. I like how she changed her mind and why she changed it. This was an edge type of write. Well done.

When I read it, I interpreted the thoughts of "heavens" as the imagined outcome of the suicide - the "plus side" of death in the mind of the character, if you will. So in choosing not do it, she realized that those images were fake. A good way to wrap it up indeed. Thanks for sharing.
