I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANA40hZQNmWIf
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by724Please respect copyright.PENANAAhbEsIk6Se
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead724Please respect copyright.PENANAbMKIcJ7ynk
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy724Please respect copyright.PENANA34ddVHuZ3N
to pick them up and set them back down.724Please respect copyright.PENANANZ24gFyDYL
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing724Please respect copyright.PENANAzS2tVgGcFd
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk724Please respect copyright.PENANAHxSsuVfG0m
like a normal person, thank you.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjWE37UL2ZO
I try.724Please respect copyright.PENANANokBZY2ph8
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking724Please respect copyright.PENANAr3o0xl96Qk
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground724Please respect copyright.PENANAGneFQgC7Kl
just barely making it from one place to another724Please respect copyright.PENANA43X2Ev5GcS
without damage.
I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1h03zkFf8T
Just this Wednesday I was driving home724Please respect copyright.PENANAOKSCxeXJCy
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road724Please respect copyright.PENANAuLzuHcQLHJ
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and724Please respect copyright.PENANAHQZYOjIgWm
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me724Please respect copyright.PENANAv6nYlRXQvp
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken724Please respect copyright.PENANA3HjHWoLsJX
for those I’m not sure how to help724Please respect copyright.PENANASuPsVVGfEU
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvG7Ji6VdMI
And while I was driving down the highway724Please respect copyright.PENANA7q7F6oA9Km
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel724Please respect copyright.PENANAF5N1WuFrlw
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the724Please respect copyright.PENANAx3dAnyOvvB
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to724Please respect copyright.PENANASTdGd5expg
collide with the wall, break through and destroy724Please respect copyright.PENANAdMQ2WWmohQ
the other side.724Please respect copyright.PENANAmUlvofgDOK
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right724Please respect copyright.PENANArociLpB51c
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t724Please respect copyright.PENANAGHrh17W9AD
harm anyone else in the process. But I724Please respect copyright.PENANABi3cFzBcxi
didn’t do either, even though I724Please respect copyright.PENANAM71Xg8bjRE
got so scared for a minute724Please respect copyright.PENANA9EfSEI5SeK
that I would.
I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANADPpj1Df3gj
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar724Please respect copyright.PENANArU74hZahai
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough724Please respect copyright.PENANAoipvVxscf5
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt724Please respect copyright.PENANAqTiu5zq034
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten724Please respect copyright.PENANAhq8UBDq7NN
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife724Please respect copyright.PENANAIkHHKQjHcX
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart724Please respect copyright.PENANAANwQQwLAee
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.724Please respect copyright.PENANAsfFdgIvzl0
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to724Please respect copyright.PENANAtBNoiijfdy
draw blood, but it was the first time724Please respect copyright.PENANAdWIOr7WHAz
I had allowed myself to724Please respect copyright.PENANA1VaaXUoPO5
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANANWwMckMfPU
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never724Please respect copyright.PENANAhMfd26ERaB
actually reach out and go through with it724Please respect copyright.PENANAjeqqvWHm0j
I think because I’m afraid of not existing724Please respect copyright.PENANALH8wQfpY4U
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I724Please respect copyright.PENANAlpWjA8bupz
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure724Please respect copyright.PENANAii2DgOVO1v
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people724Please respect copyright.PENANA5q1ba0AZ8o
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself724Please respect copyright.PENANAaHBhavHopc
and give up. I have thought about dying every day724Please respect copyright.PENANAECEF3KOlsp
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just724Please respect copyright.PENANAXahti2jsoy
go through with it.
I’m tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6QB3Q1wbng
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing724Please respect copyright.PENANAWUtsjFgtCm
for people to care about me when they should724Please respect copyright.PENANAEqWX0Gs5Pf
care about me on their own. I often think that724Please respect copyright.PENANAc9YntmPZeM
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that724Please respect copyright.PENANAo0FSOhQtym
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.724Please respect copyright.PENANAMdueY2LCkG
She often hurts me more than she improves my life724Please respect copyright.PENANAcGQgRZgYqQ
but I’m too afraid to say anything because724Please respect copyright.PENANAj3paCrBxYY
I need her. I need her to exist724Please respect copyright.PENANAfovulyBSle
in my existence, and I need her to724Please respect copyright.PENANA21Hq5rEmOa
be by my side.724Please respect copyright.PENANANuk0G0LzFh
But I’m tired.
I’m tired724Please respect copyright.PENANAcNB3MfwtcI
of being tired724Please respect copyright.PENANA66Rdgul6sl
in this tiring life.
