I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANAaoqUy5gMHk
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by621Please respect copyright.PENANA5x1bPlBnmk
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead621Please respect copyright.PENANAk631es7aHK
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy621Please respect copyright.PENANAPu4Fnk7HCv
to pick them up and set them back down.621Please respect copyright.PENANAn78xXj6XpN
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing621Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZBKEFrmSG
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk621Please respect copyright.PENANAdJm7lz3ZjF
like a normal person, thank you.621Please respect copyright.PENANATIHkq44oc1
I try.621Please respect copyright.PENANANYtIQOmA0K
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking621Please respect copyright.PENANAgbq0iRZvKu
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground621Please respect copyright.PENANAu8yp6bPtTB
just barely making it from one place to another621Please respect copyright.PENANAW8kl7kZFUe
without damage.
I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANA8mkITQJcRg
Just this Wednesday I was driving home621Please respect copyright.PENANArzz3rzlUu3
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road621Please respect copyright.PENANAbeLCOcEqRb
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and621Please respect copyright.PENANARIu9cTj6N5
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me621Please respect copyright.PENANAJveLOQY7KS
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken621Please respect copyright.PENANAo1BELBlDUP
for those I’m not sure how to help621Please respect copyright.PENANAzvti3JuDO8
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.621Please respect copyright.PENANAcLCL8xkz4M
And while I was driving down the highway621Please respect copyright.PENANAen4Mr2NPx0
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel621Please respect copyright.PENANAhFs01y8k7i
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the621Please respect copyright.PENANA4lQeXTim9e
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to621Please respect copyright.PENANAtekWMzWmT6
collide with the wall, break through and destroy621Please respect copyright.PENANAhz98lpqBi2
the other side.621Please respect copyright.PENANADgxyYcAaWi
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right621Please respect copyright.PENANAYJRT9PZeGm
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t621Please respect copyright.PENANAtaENfdjEq7
harm anyone else in the process. But I621Please respect copyright.PENANALGVZSYbOfs
didn’t do either, even though I621Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ZmZj4PLq
got so scared for a minute621Please respect copyright.PENANA6o8wZHM0pN
that I would.
I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANAKOOOMVFLqi
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar621Please respect copyright.PENANACMtMeOAZYq
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough621Please respect copyright.PENANAWIc3QN5LVH
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt621Please respect copyright.PENANAa9HrY6NSEw
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten621Please respect copyright.PENANAXYjQHiY5M4
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife621Please respect copyright.PENANAwAW1w4urbR
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart621Please respect copyright.PENANANpXsl6IHFc
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.621Please respect copyright.PENANApH1cVcaUSc
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to621Please respect copyright.PENANAuCUg1dvqap
draw blood, but it was the first time621Please respect copyright.PENANAPM7YiT0Rru
I had allowed myself to621Please respect copyright.PENANAe4kAkNd01G
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANADpiTCiCNX6
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never621Please respect copyright.PENANAw5M9j12Amn
actually reach out and go through with it621Please respect copyright.PENANAf1bbSDV9to
I think because I’m afraid of not existing621Please respect copyright.PENANA5tmWQbGWst
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I621Please respect copyright.PENANA0udnIxtFkR
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure621Please respect copyright.PENANAaJMSqb57is
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people621Please respect copyright.PENANAOBkZxJq0g0
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself621Please respect copyright.PENANAXUZHDvfvdc
and give up. I have thought about dying every day621Please respect copyright.PENANAQjs3YlD3ri
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just621Please respect copyright.PENANA8b535fdSjC
go through with it.
I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANABMBjt6Jri0
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing621Please respect copyright.PENANAmS7DUvirWV
for people to care about me when they should621Please respect copyright.PENANAttTCKMrAF5
care about me on their own. I often think that621Please respect copyright.PENANA8aVBBt9XVy
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that621Please respect copyright.PENANAzKxxkq83wG
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.621Please respect copyright.PENANAOJu8NzG360
She often hurts me more than she improves my life621Please respect copyright.PENANAVRKbbsPAmD
but I’m too afraid to say anything because621Please respect copyright.PENANAYNGr52Kr70
I need her. I need her to exist621Please respect copyright.PENANAdZpn0Iq0jS
in my existence, and I need her to621Please respect copyright.PENANALmNYvmiI6M
be by my side.621Please respect copyright.PENANA1yMhthCArh
But I’m tired.
I’m tired621Please respect copyright.PENANAVBYDDsl5dN
of being tired621Please respect copyright.PENANAmVAmmuatmW
in this tiring life.
