There is only so much a person can take. They keep telling
you that overcoming those breaking points will only make you stronger; they
forget to tell you the toll it takes on your soul. They forget to tell you that
after a while; even your body starts to give up. They forget to tell you that
at some point, you begin to change. Sometimes that change is good. But
sometimes, that change makes you the demon you were always fighting; and you
realize all you’re left to fight, is yourself.
It begins simple enough, with those cold feet and thumping
hearts. Then you start to lose focus and life becomes tunnel vision. Even
worse, when the lights go off at the end of the tunnel and all that’s left is
darkness. Then the walls start caving in and you know you are helpless and
alone in it. There will be no hand to pull you out for no one knows you’re
there. You feel the air getting dusty and thin. You gasp to breathe and your
body starts to shut down. You doze off. You fall into that peaceful slumber.
Your only salvation is to leave in that state of peace.
They will say that “she experienced no pain” and that “it
was a peaceful departing”.
And so shall it be.
