Whispers
Born 1992, M, from Newcastle kwazulu natal, South AfricaIts 2 am in the morning I could do with some bit of sleep .my eyes won’t close ,the fear keeps on pondering in my sub conscience mind .the voices are paddling harder than yesterday .what if I had a way to shut them down .I cannot I am alone in the dark .no one can feel my pain .
It’s happening so fast and in a blink of an eye a lot has been lost .yet so much to be achieved .my eyes cannot close .I really need more than what yesterday could offer.it seems impossible yet attainable and reachable but the whisper in my ears says otherwise .it seems ,I’m losing my mind nothing is right ,no hope that tomorrow will come ,no hope that the morning will come .come …come …rescue me …I’m drowning but I don’t see any stream .I’m in a foggy night but yet so close to the morning .it’s like walking in a muddy arear.no light is shining for me ,I had hoped that it would have by this time .
The clock tickling bit by bit .counting the seconds to minutes to hours .I’m still awake all that ticking of the clock is more scary, the whispering voices in my ears only I can hear them .they shouting louder and louder growing by each day .saying repeatedly the same thing .’’You are not good enough ….forget everything, forget your name, forget your true identity, you are worthless .there is no hope for you .you have done enough already .give others a chance.’’ ‘’It’s selfish of you to keep on moving on don’t you see that others are more important than you, don’t you realize that you are like a thread in needle, that’s how small you are.’’
My mind seems tired, the brains wants nothing but to rest .yet the heart is growing more stronger to keep on holding on that thin thread of life .I want to let go but my hands keeps on holding on tight they don’t want to let go .my eyes have turned reddish, the long sleepless night doesn’t want to be gone .let go…let go…let go….don’t hold on let go… you are wasting time! Don’t hope for the impossible you are nothing. You will forever be nothing .you say you want to be the best .but you are nothing .you are the brightest yet stubborn and a fool I have ever seen that have walked among the living.
It’s 3 am I’m restless but still energetic ,the battle is still on ,it’s not that I have any other choice ,if I let go now I will perish into thin air .the whispers laughing and blindsiding me of my abilities I’m so close to letting go. I have nothing to lose .I will still be alive though nothing has been good for me through this night .it’s like a valley of death filled with negativity that I cannot fight alone. Help is all that I hope for but no one is near to lift me out of this misery. I can fill it the end is near.
Get up. Get up... Take a bath you will be refreshed, it’s the morning you have been awaiting for .my heart is filled with happiness but the voices holds me down .don’t get up, you haven’t slept .take a nap you will wake up after the morning has gone away .you have nothing to lose .let them do the job for you .you will cover your errands the following day .be a king now don’t wait for later. That office is not good for you all you need is just to sleep. The head is not lifting up, the only thing that makes sense is to have a good sleep.
Forcefully got up, went into the windows lifted the curtains,’’ it’s still misty outside. Who would walk in that foggy morning .not me, I will wait for the sun to come out, I will not strangle myself If I were you I will go back to sleep ‘’ the voices seems to be making sense ,let me go to sleep hopefully in few hours I will be good to go.
Its 5 am, the alarms rings ….repeatedly it rang and rang deep in the sleep .no one to wake me up. The whispers singing softly in my ears. “Go on to sleep you will be a king in your own dream and you will be a boss of your own”. The blanket is softer and more attractive to my liking. More repellent is waking up.3 hours later I’m awake my cellphone is flashing bright light. The screen has a short message “don’t bother coming to work you have been replaced, you can come and collect your severance package and depart away we no longer require your services.”
Sometimes the best that you can do is to shut all of those voices that are whispering to you .saying you cannot reach your destiny, no matter how trustworthy they may be.
