The life of a person living in the shadows of suicide.

Dear momma,

Did you know I was suicidal?

Momma, this isn't a letter of reconcile.

This is a goodbye.

I don't think my life means much.

Momma, don't you agree?

I know when you're around me.

You can smell the insanity.

Let me fade away into your conscience.

Sometimes I wish I never existed.

I mean, look at me.

A useless heap.

If I'm gone,

you wouldn't have another mouth to feed.

Momma, can't you see I'm bleeding?

The constant fights with the Devil

have their penalties.

I've been gone for hours and no one's noticed.

Hiding in a field of flowers,

all withered and dull,

don't you get it?

Momma, I'm the essence of death,

a contradiction of creation at its finest.

Please, momma let me die.

Give it a week and I'll be a distant memory.

Momma, the world will continue without me.

Momma, wouldn't you feel serene if it were wrong.

Sing me another melody before I go.

Momma, I feel The Reaper's scythe on my throat.

My body is getting cold.

My colored skin is becoming pale.

Life is falling apart now.

I was never good at puzzles.

Momma,

these suicidal thoughts talk often,

the whispers in my sheets,

hushed tones with a sense of urgency.

Momma, don't lie to me.

You say you love me,

but how can you love your demons,

vile, twisted beings.

The Reaper has done his work,

yet the world still hasn't stopped spinning.

Momma, it's been days.

Momma, it's been years.

Momma, I've been watching,

and everyone is still smiling.

My hourglass has been shattered.

In the end, no one shivered

No one cried.

No one begged God for my resurrection.

Momma, take care,

you're free of your demons.

Don't you see?

My death was a blessing...

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
