I’m tired.723Please respect copyright.PENANA6vaD2sNBpb
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by723Please respect copyright.PENANAFCjjNFY54t
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead723Please respect copyright.PENANAL6lB6SYXLY
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy723Please respect copyright.PENANAJpc93VQDNi
to pick them up and set them back down.723Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZEGvprCUD
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing723Please respect copyright.PENANAyI3KbcrKLT
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk723Please respect copyright.PENANAgL0iloNsAE
like a normal person, thank you.723Please respect copyright.PENANAzgvkiDvLfV
I try.723Please respect copyright.PENANABUrcIhfBCC
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking723Please respect copyright.PENANAS7TL9SrXeF
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground723Please respect copyright.PENANADlzZzIEOGb
just barely making it from one place to another723Please respect copyright.PENANAZajsCg2VAT
without damage.
I’m tired.723Please respect copyright.PENANAMPSBEPkGNi
Just this Wednesday I was driving home723Please respect copyright.PENANATJyNao9GUz
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road723Please respect copyright.PENANARFE2R0hIOM
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and723Please respect copyright.PENANA6SPsNjLfSN
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me723Please respect copyright.PENANAfumngnTmaB
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken723Please respect copyright.PENANA4atin4tuAb
for those I’m not sure how to help723Please respect copyright.PENANATYe2ME3bMM
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.723Please respect copyright.PENANAOaqjSKLdcu
And while I was driving down the highway723Please respect copyright.PENANAjRG4q008Go
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel723Please respect copyright.PENANADS49YUruWk
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the723Please respect copyright.PENANAaVw0FTghfC
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to723Please respect copyright.PENANA79fn9Lxhf0
collide with the wall, break through and destroy723Please respect copyright.PENANAMHEjWVSL9s
the other side.723Please respect copyright.PENANAqoqmRXPAaI
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right723Please respect copyright.PENANA39axMbU9uD
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t723Please respect copyright.PENANA9DsBXxdYBt
harm anyone else in the process. But I723Please respect copyright.PENANAhysk9aBVjU
didn’t do either, even though I723Please respect copyright.PENANAsRVbuDN9xB
got so scared for a minute723Please respect copyright.PENANATBsamRIKM8
that I would.
I’m tired.723Please respect copyright.PENANAQAknged5o3
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar723Please respect copyright.PENANAW9iQ8nn84D
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough723Please respect copyright.PENANAj93VZt1bWR
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt723Please respect copyright.PENANACLC4mMayqT
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten723Please respect copyright.PENANAXFvY1Dg5Gx
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife723Please respect copyright.PENANABm3dOr6khW
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart723Please respect copyright.PENANAfmR7M3k7n6
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.723Please respect copyright.PENANAnPI34cCcBs
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to723Please respect copyright.PENANAuTagTsf1F7
draw blood, but it was the first time723Please respect copyright.PENANAOGV45D2oOd
I had allowed myself to723Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0Rd3uZumL
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.723Please respect copyright.PENANAOd2NoUNizT
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never723Please respect copyright.PENANA5XXaq2AF5e
actually reach out and go through with it723Please respect copyright.PENANAucc3aKz4nt
I think because I’m afraid of not existing723Please respect copyright.PENANArK8JdJvOt0
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I723Please respect copyright.PENANAVWtDPoROmj
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure723Please respect copyright.PENANATklElQ1IiN
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people723Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ1xqN0ouu
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself723Please respect copyright.PENANAAL08IQXnpm
and give up. I have thought about dying every day723Please respect copyright.PENANAe9xeXLMZDh
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just723Please respect copyright.PENANA5qjxPJd7Xu
go through with it.
I’m tired.723Please respect copyright.PENANAF1htSJqPpG
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing723Please respect copyright.PENANAb328YL0hWh
for people to care about me when they should723Please respect copyright.PENANAKWeudMmpgC
care about me on their own. I often think that723Please respect copyright.PENANArLHxFz9UZP
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that723Please respect copyright.PENANAk65kZVvxCV
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.723Please respect copyright.PENANA6GzzEoaLIz
She often hurts me more than she improves my life723Please respect copyright.PENANA0N6vlTvX4z
but I’m too afraid to say anything because723Please respect copyright.PENANA5mNEFf1iby
I need her. I need her to exist723Please respect copyright.PENANAr4CLEFJbhv
in my existence, and I need her to723Please respect copyright.PENANAiduXKuyedV
be by my side.723Please respect copyright.PENANASTT0WRtmaI
But I’m tired.
I’m tired723Please respect copyright.PENANAUzhfeHQTdE
of being tired723Please respect copyright.PENANAjoxPj5Vasd
in this tiring life.
