Monologue
Is there any time that I have ever thought of committing suicide? Unfortunately, yeah. Each moment I sit at that corner, suicidal thoughts hits me, pleading for transformation and change. Apparently, every day I am alive, I ask myself, what if one day I jumped on the street? I only need to wait for something bigger such as a truck or a bus, and I am dead. In fact, that big object will not miss me, and I will have less time to feel the pain, but all my sufferings and trials will reach the end. No pain anymore! However, is there anyone to miss me?

In fact, I had that desire to live and live forever. Nevertheless, my depression started coming back slowly. I hardly disagree with all those who say the easiest way to get out of the suffering is by taking your own life. Let me make it clear; it is the most challenging encounter or task. The urge of being in existence and alive outdo the thoughts of killing yourself. The desire to breathe, and breathe sharply is never easy to overcome. The minds can convince you to commit suicide, but the heart says no! I can’t stop beating. There are no medicines for this abnormal reasoning. In fact, I can use a lot of my efforts and energies convincing the public that I am okay and sober. Apparently, I have never been good and straight, where, I don’t think I will ever be okay. Not even a single day. Instead, I will only be one day away from terminating this human
