Enough

Locked inside my dark thoughts, I still haven't figured out how to escape. I try hard to please my stepdad, but still the only result is rape. I'm tired of living this way, the pain only continues to stay. I grab the knife under my bed, and put it under my head. All I need to do is slit. Just one slit can end it all. I listen to the sound of the soft rain, the dagger still lies at my vein. My silence is interrupted as my stepdad pounds my locked door. This alters my decision. He won't abuse me anymore. I made the slice that led to my death.
