WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a short dialogue that reveals much more about the narrator than the person they are talking to.
Often when writing from the narrator’s perspective, the reader’s attention is on what the narrator is seeing and hearing. By inverting this, a great sense of character can be created. What does their conversation reveal to the reader?
I Just Tried To Take My Life Away
As I vent about what’s going on within me.
Currently, I’m raging, yelling, and screaming at the top of my lungs
But as my friends look at me and ask how I feel, I tell them I’m good, I tell them I’m okay.
However, in reality, I’m hurting inside.
I’m working on dying and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop this feeling.
I recently came back from the psych-ward
not to long ago, I felt meaningless.
The dialogue in my mind on the daily ranges from “why am I alive, why do I exist, why is my happiness so short lived?”
I don’t care anymore, I don’t want to live anymore, just tell my family that I truly love them.
Till next time, hopefully I’m alive by then.
