Despondency

As I feel the ice cold water effortlessly penetrate my thin, blood-covered garments, I plunge into an expanse of black, stormy hopelessness, cringing one last time as the rocks slice through my delicate, pale skin.

I become one with the deathly waters that rapidly engulf my worn-down body. A smile spreads across my face as I embrace my fate. My blood dyes the dark water a deep red, and I surrender to the pressure of the waves, the rocks, and my own intense desire to rip apart the life I wasted years nurturing.

As I release one last breath, I let go of my fears, my worries, my life - the life that drove me to this point of insanity that would refuse to let me live in peace. My eyelids become heavy; they drop one last final time, leaving me no choice but to take the destiny I had prepared for myself.

I struggle to move, to see, to breathe, but this time I went too far. There are no second chances. The choice to live life had been destroyed long ago, ripped and burned, never to be thought of again, but I thought the unthinkable, and with all the strength I could muster, I uttered the one phrase that was too late.

Wallowing in regret and despair, I opened my bleeding mouth ever so slightly, and while exerting enough strength to be screaming, I muttered, "Help me," and then I was at peace.

Nice emotional content...

Great language choices that breath desperation and death!
In the end "peace", and what is so beautiful, you will not need
and can not get the help of mortals, yet comes the divine...
That's another story....eh!
