About 2 weeks ago, I had a visit to the panmure community hall to watch a small production called
' The Great Escape.'
This production had focused on suicidal awareness and I was amazed to hear that every 67 hours a young teen would take there life! Every 67 hours!
It had focused on true stories of teenagers and what they had overcome towards the darkness and also what saved them.
The stories in this play truly brought me to tears. Seeing how these people had suffered, seeing how they had no-one to reach out to. It's really sad knowing that there are more people out here in New Zealand that are suffering from
these kind of things too!
Seeing how they could only think about what they had looked like or what was happening on the outside was shocking!
Our scenes had mostly focused on a recreation of real people and their stories, after some scenes would finish, there would be some short videos sensoring that this is what they had really gone through.
They had talked about self harm, and what there mind would be telling them and this was all because of the anxiety that had overstressed them!
Honestly, this play had a lot of sadness. I really had no idea how to explain what was going on.
Before the end of the play had arrived, I had cried a few more tears as the motto of the whole play was:
" The lord is your light, follow him and your path to success will roll. Your darkness will run, just as long as you believe in him. "
I honestly loved how it ended, and it had also come to the end where some would voulenteer to say a big prayer, signalling that all would possibly carry the lord in their heart.
These true stories had totally uplifted how I could see the world. I could see that it was suffering from many things. Even bigger than suicide.
Hopefully they make another play, focusing on another topic, I really loved this one!
