TRIGGER WARNING – This post ideals with suicide. Please do not read it dear friend, if this is a trigger.Mom. Angels. I am safe. This is just a memoir because I know others have no choice but to survive through the same. You have supported me to talk about this curse, through God’s strength.
Regardless of how alone you feel at this very moment – YOU. ARE. NOT. Please reach out. We are here to support our brothers and sisters through this dark abyss. Through this Specter. You can read as much as I remember about my personal fight and that night of hopelessness from the end of the belt.

Image of poem with lyrics below, as well as an image of hand holding an empty bottle with pills emptied out on a wooden floor.
The Night I Killed Myself | Part 1?
Anger triggers, trigger pulls, Specter slashing me
Digging claws of hopelessness, broke on bended knee
Half pill, whole pill, crying on the floor
Throw it back, chase it down, hanging from the door
Laughing at the little thought, that I was trying to sleep
“You fool you’re trying to die tonight, you worthless, monstrous creep”
Sitting on the bedroom floor, belt around my neck
Pills on wood, two bottles gone, end without regret
The pain, the hopelessness, the ever growing rage
The beast had torn apart, his rusted , Lexapronic cage
“SHH-! Don’t say it. Don’t dare speak his name”
“He’ll hear you, and he’ll cut you, and brand you with his flame.”
I can’t take the monsters, that rape me every day
Taunting me to exit out, you know, the easy way
Ever since the middle school, I entered a layer of hell
I never made it out of there, the pain’s too much to tell
* * *
There’s this girl that stole my heart, she used to call me dad
A fool to think I was the hero, I knew she never had

Wonderful post Christopher! Don’t know what life would be like without you. Keep fighting the good fight. Specter doesn’t have a chance with your angel around. Much love! ❤

I think even we, with our own Specters, forget how overpowering they can be and that we don’t want to glorify when it happens. We just want to be honest about it. And in that honesty comes bravery, even if you don’t feel it. {Hugs} my friend

Thank you Sass’XXXXX
You know your words “we don’t want to glorify when it happens” really made me think over the past 24 hours. And that’s good. I never thought about it that way. I need to take heed 🙂 I love you and hope you’re doing well, dear friend who has reached out to me through my struggles.
