Before I Go

732 Words
It was very tormenting to live like this. When I wake up I always find myself lying on my dark messy room, and then my mother will get mad at me again. I always pray, if there's a god, "Please take me away from this world!" But it always seems useless because there's no one listening to my wishes and complains, I was utterly useless and i***t. *Slam! My dad entered the dark room where I lie and grabbed my neck, "You useless brat! We gave you decent life, we dressed you, we feed you," he started to punch me, "Fix yourself, you useless animal! Prove me that you are my son!" I received several injuries and wound from my dad on that moment, his sharp words pierced through my teenage mind and broke the respect that I had for him. While my mom was on my door watching and looking at me, it seems like she was disgusted by my sight. "Go to school tommorow. Continue your study and fix yourself," Dad added before they leave. I know that I cannot grasp the situation I'm in right now. That safe haven that I knew isn't safe at all, I can't even trust my parents from now on. "Am I battling alone?" I asked myself as the tears started to fall from my swollen eye. ------ It's been early in the morning and I was thinking about what will happen on this day, my injuries are still hurting and my wounds are still bleeding. I took a bath and after that I brush my teeth, my swollen gums hurts like crazy and when I saw my reflection on the mirror, I realized how pathetic I am and lose my tiny resolve to face everyone. As I go downstairs, the breakfast is ready and my mom was smiling at me, but something in my mind was saying that the smile that I saw was only a lie. I hurriedly finished my breakfast and took my things with me. Before I left home she smiled once again and say, "Good luck on your new journey!" I don't really understand what's happening, about what is real and what is not.. but those words hit my heart. I finally have a little hope to push forward, walking calmly on the street, taking the usual path to school, I see hardworking men and construction signs. "Caution! Deep Excavation" was written from one of it. My injured arm suddenly aches, my bag has been fallen from my grip and I bent down to pick it from the ground. As I grasp the bag, I felt a palm tapping on my shoulder. As I look on whose hand it is from, my body started to tremble as it triggers the trauma that I had. "Y-y-you.. P-please don't hurt m-me." I was really afraid of that person and his group, for they are the reason why I stopped going to school. Slowly, my trembling feet started to move backwards, it feels like my feet are moving on their own. I was so scared that I closed my eyes and the next thing that I see was that the guy I was afraid off was actually trying to save me this time. He was holding still on my hand so that I won't fall into the deep excavation. My arm is aching and they are struggling to pull me up, but it feels like something was dragging me down, I smiled on to him and say, "You don't have to do this, I may die in peace." "No, don't go that far!" He screamed. "Tell my parents that I loved them, and sorry for being a failure." As I utter my final words I was relieved that I was about to live this world, no one likes to be with hopeless person like me. I looked into what's waiting below and I see the steel bars as if it was calling to me. I made my hand slip from his grasp and smiled before I let go. The erected steels pierced through my body as it catched me from falling.. the last thing that I saw with my blurry bloody vision was the sight of people gathering above and a guy weeping for me. Without knowing what will happen next, I look forward to slumber in eternal darkness.
