The Mental Asylum

It's been three years since I have been living in this Asylum,

But it seems as if those bitter memories still haunt me in my dreams.

It was in the year 2016 when I had been arrested for committing a heinous crime,

It was in the year 2016 when I had been admitted to a Mental Asylum for committing a villainous crime.

Everyone around me thought I was not behaving like a normal human being,

Everyone around me thought I was mentally ill.

Indeed those memories were dreadful to recall,

Indeed those memories were nightmares to think of.

Three years ago I worked as a Manager from a well known Private Sector Group,

Everything was going well until one day I saw one of my female colleague waiting outside our office for the Cab to reach home.

Since it was raining heavily She had to wait outside our office for some time for the Cab.

Seeing this situation I thought I will help her out and drop her back to her house.

As soon as I informed her about my proposal she immediately agreed to it. 

She was sitting beside me inside my car.

As I was driving that night I realized that the so-called Evil thoughts crept into my mind.

I tried to control myself,

I tried to control my thoughts,

But eventually, I failed to control my Lust,

Eventually I failed to control myself from committing that heinous crime!

I tried to get physical with her without her consent,

I tried to get closer to her without asking her permission.

Things turned ugly when she jumped out of the moving car to save her Dignity,

To save her Honour.

Before I could react or save her life I saw her body getting crushed under a Truck.

I became numb,

I became dead silent.

I did not come out of my car to see her body for the last time,

Instead, I drove my car at full speed and went back to my house.

The very next day all the other office colleagues got the news of her sudden demise.

But nobody knew that her murderer was still roaming freely,

Nobody knew that her murderer was none other than Me, My own self!!

Things were not the same anymore.

Life was not the same anymore.

In the course of time, I became insomniac.

Moreover, Whenever I tried to sleep I saw her spirit trying to connect to me.

Previously I used to see her in my dreams trying to strangle me, Kill me.

But now things have changed,

Cause Now I see her even when I am not sleeping,

Cause Now I see her everywhere.

I realised I cannot live like this anymore,

I realised I cannot live like this in guilt for so many years!

Hence I went to the police station to Confess my crime so that they can arrest me then and there.

Although I was convicted by the Court,

I was admitted to the Mental Asylum because for the first few days when they kept me in jail they could hear me screaming and shouting for "HELP".

They could hear my voice,

They could hear my whispers,

They could hear how I used to plead her to forgive me and kill me instead!

It's been three years since that incident took place, 

But still, I can hear her voice,

Still I can see her spirit haunting this place!
