Inside Their Mind

Hi Mama,
`Ma ! I know you have been worried about me for some time now. About whether I am eating on time, getting enough rest, sleeping on time. I know I have been a pain to deal with and I am sorry for that.
You have been my pillar of strength Ma. I love you so so much.
I have decided Ma things are going to change. I am going change. I have to stand up for myself and I have to take the leap of faith. I am going to be happy Ma. I don’t like you worrying all the time.
It’s a good day today Ma. The sky is bluer, the sun is shining brighter .
After days I got up and did not want to go back to sleep, away from the world. I even ate my favorite Upma - Sheera for breakfast at Rajesh Corner…It was yum. And I am smiling Ma and laughing it feels so good.
I am feeling alive again. I don’t know why I did not just do it before. It’s my life I should have started thinking of what’s best for me.
But don’t worry Ma, I won’t let them control me any longer. I won’t let them make me sad. I am happy now Ma, be happy for me trust me.
I am going to take the Leap of Faith. I gonna take that jump to better things.
Things will get better for you and me.

Love,
Ayesha

She folded the letter and kept it safe. She was smiling now. She walked up to the window saw the sun. She could feel the hope and optimism coursing through her. She knew things were gonna be better.
She took a deep breath. It was time she thought to take control, to feel in control again.
Thinking that took a step out and jumped.
Down below a crash was heard. People started to gather as a young girl of 25 have just committed suicide.
People did not realize she had been depressed for such a long time. Sadder was the part that people did not realize she was finally happy today.
Those who have light in their lives do not realize the safety darkness provides to others
