I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzTUD6I0SbH
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by724Please respect copyright.PENANAowKm69enXh
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead724Please respect copyright.PENANAEyME3xRVjs
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy724Please respect copyright.PENANA0HVSznbThb
to pick them up and set them back down.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wc4MIoenQ
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing724Please respect copyright.PENANApTq9me84xC
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk724Please respect copyright.PENANAcQHRG9WBxl
like a normal person, thank you.724Please respect copyright.PENANAmMGI6pFhHk
I try.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqmrcXx16a7
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking724Please respect copyright.PENANAdQTTUNmZPN
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground724Please respect copyright.PENANApEYfEYeWvF
just barely making it from one place to another724Please respect copyright.PENANA20UzVkCBn3
without damage.
I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANASp3OT4klpb
Just this Wednesday I was driving home724Please respect copyright.PENANAP0RJsQL4Bp
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road724Please respect copyright.PENANAOPfKJuDODO
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and724Please respect copyright.PENANAjIN2oDbQSK
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me724Please respect copyright.PENANACH8hP8IEPt
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken724Please respect copyright.PENANAx5NFCBjwrp
for those I’m not sure how to help724Please respect copyright.PENANATas1Y9mGPA
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.724Please respect copyright.PENANA3sIBauzU69
And while I was driving down the highway724Please respect copyright.PENANA9XKtAP9w9X
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel724Please respect copyright.PENANAK5WZU7h3sF
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the724Please respect copyright.PENANAwhZ7SsQEeg
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to724Please respect copyright.PENANAU9vo2Yc3ET
collide with the wall, break through and destroy724Please respect copyright.PENANAv1nqkaVHGE
the other side.724Please respect copyright.PENANAeCh0wr8zZB
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right724Please respect copyright.PENANAp8BoPpBLlg
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t724Please respect copyright.PENANAdgAXqG5t2M
harm anyone else in the process. But I724Please respect copyright.PENANAOyq1zZMbUQ
didn’t do either, even though I724Please respect copyright.PENANAHGAy6fmvmH
got so scared for a minute724Please respect copyright.PENANAZIlkzevFOA
that I would.
I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1IkEyJWanL
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar724Please respect copyright.PENANAQTQujFIqx7
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough724Please respect copyright.PENANAjawmqg64Xp
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt724Please respect copyright.PENANAPlpOoKUULo
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten724Please respect copyright.PENANAJOlob4KEBR
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife724Please respect copyright.PENANAdLqt6tqtyf
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart724Please respect copyright.PENANABtTCmYluke
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.724Please respect copyright.PENANAmVfta2Awc0
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to724Please respect copyright.PENANA5AZA6F5qQR
draw blood, but it was the first time724Please respect copyright.PENANA9qtBYl50WN
I had allowed myself to724Please respect copyright.PENANAgw4a2OLr9p
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANAr6jp4PKqAP
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never724Please respect copyright.PENANAlDXoUS6YmH
actually reach out and go through with it724Please respect copyright.PENANAQCPBOIkZXt
I think because I’m afraid of not existing724Please respect copyright.PENANAFCMWAyEuQp
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I724Please respect copyright.PENANA4s1c8fMasj
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure724Please respect copyright.PENANAUE0O1PtIzC
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people724Please respect copyright.PENANALmKpgA5lvG
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself724Please respect copyright.PENANAiPoxxGErLW
and give up. I have thought about dying every day724Please respect copyright.PENANAvR7cnZE8kD
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just724Please respect copyright.PENANAlqxAbgz8Xw
go through with it.
I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvFZTL0AqJ8
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing724Please respect copyright.PENANAbJjtTUB1SJ
for people to care about me when they should724Please respect copyright.PENANA8xhlBBcVpN
care about me on their own. I often think that724Please respect copyright.PENANAc5ej2kwL6s
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that724Please respect copyright.PENANABSxKRjwll4
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.724Please respect copyright.PENANAlOCeZmEALA
She often hurts me more than she improves my life724Please respect copyright.PENANAyAbHDqUqha
but I’m too afraid to say anything because724Please respect copyright.PENANAgJq2Yo6y3e
I need her. I need her to exist724Please respect copyright.PENANAW2ZyrHyYw6
in my existence, and I need her to724Please respect copyright.PENANAR9dyvqpTfQ
be by my side.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgKWRXMoCg1
But I’m tired.
I’m tired724Please respect copyright.PENANAEsy6RRJXzr
of being tired724Please respect copyright.PENANA9zxgPBbOHT
in this tiring life.
