Insane

So here my soul lays, stuck in this hell hole.The voices are driving me wild. The walls black, red writing scaring the walls from my last episode, bits of paper and old newspapers left to rot on the dust filled floor.1

Here I sit wasting away. Today is just another one, my anger tormenting my soul, yet my heart is only one step away from meltdown.Closing my eyes seemed like the best option.My stomach cramps were easing due to lack of nurtients, my body didnt want to eat or taste something desirable.2

Doctor rang today, checking up on my seldom lifestyle. 3

"Yes doctor, no doctor, three bags full doctor", and yes I did take my medication. If only he reaslised that no pills had even entered my dirt filled mouth.4

They keep calling me them voices. There like my little sister but only they don't exsist they remain in my messed up brain. Bringing myself to wash let alone look at my thoughtless retribution facing back at me, filled me with dread. My dingy flat a poor pathetic excuse of a lifestyle, screaming back at me to magically spring it back to life.Weeks worth of washing slung on the floor, if only my poor mother could see me now, RIP MUM!5

Sticking vladaldi on the stero seems to ease my lucid pain and pressure. Loving the way the notes on the strings glide up higher then lower. Closing my eyes, my mind clenches, thrusts into the oblivion like being catipulated from a rollercoaster.6

As the alarm clock sounds, I wake from the return of slumber, wiping the sleep from my eyes and drool from my mouth. Hadn't a clue as to what day it was nor had any reculection of the day before.7

The curtains still closed, not wanting the whole world gawping in at my goldfish bowl, I knew the sunlight would burst through so they remained lifeless, haning on the rail. Walking into the bathroom seeing my relection in the mirror, one word just filtered into my head, tramp. I wanted to change, but i didn't know how, nor did i know how to be normal again.8

My life was sweet once, my life was filled with smiles and happiness. My devoted wife and daughter. But once my dark insides started to rear it's ugly head they packed up and left. That was the time when i knew what living meant, i had a purpose in life and my beautiful daughter made me see that.9

Thinking back to that day she was born, I held her in my arms and as I held her an overwhelming sense of purity filled my soul.I felt completed, I was ready to be a perfect father and a loving husband.10

    As I go along: P2...Nutrients...PERIOD! Capital "M" (new sentence)..."something desireable" = anything desireable.
    P3..."seldom lifestyle?" What do you wish to say? This phrase makes no sense.
    P4..."dirt filled mouth?" (A little exaggeration?...You ought to explain what you mean!)
    P5..."calling me," COMMA...THE voices.
    "There" = THEY'RE (learn this difference!) (But what you really mean is: IT'S like my little sister!
    THEY refers to more than one. "Little sister" is only ONE! ..."But only"...You only need one of these words here...."Thoughtless retribution?" what is this? What are you trying to say?
    "Dingy flat" COMMA
    "on the floor" PERIOD
    "if only...CAPITAL "I" (New sentence)
    "see me now" PERIOD
    "RIP MUM"...New sentence.
    P6 "vivaldi" CAPITAL "V"
    P7...either your wake from or return from slumber It sounds as if you are using both...."reulection" = RECOLLECTION (tsk!)
    P8 Curtains ARE still closed.
    Gaping or Gawking...or ogling. NOT "GAWPING"
    "bowl" PERIOD
    Hanging
    "my head COLON (
    P9..."sweet once" PERIOD
    "My devoted wife and daughter." This is an incomplete sentence. What you needed was to have a semi-colon ( after "once" instead of the period...small "m", then COMMA or semi-colon after "happiness." (small "m" for my)
    "insides" is PLURAL..."it's" is SINGULAR. You MUST agree in NUMBER...!("head is singular!" What a mix-up!)
    "when I knew" = THAT I knew! or just "I knew"
    "meant" PERIOD New sentence (I had a purpose)
    P10 "that day" better: "the day"

    Now...we wonder what happened? Is story complete? What's been resolved? What happened?
    This seems to be merely a snippet...a swatch...a clip. We don't know why...who...how.
    I think you need to elaborate on this character a bit so that the reader can understand WHAT is going on here! So that the reader can CARE. As it is...the character comes from nowhere...IS nowhere...and, as far as we can see...is GOING nowhere! YOU may know...but the idea is for you to CONVEY this to the reader. Also, brush up on sentence structure and basic grammar.
