I’m tired.655Please respect copyright.PENANAjtZvemTsPc
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by655Please respect copyright.PENANAOLehGodyxJ
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead655Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ3HMDaaqC
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy655Please respect copyright.PENANA5aD1qV1EfV
to pick them up and set them back down.655Please respect copyright.PENANAjezCBXW4Me
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing655Please respect copyright.PENANAjHgrVoCGNi
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk655Please respect copyright.PENANAWxookBUjfM
like a normal person, thank you.655Please respect copyright.PENANAvO7Grk90nl
I try.655Please respect copyright.PENANAcJMqAbJfBb
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking655Please respect copyright.PENANATgeiOwVrNM
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground655Please respect copyright.PENANAaxRs1n5oAu
just barely making it from one place to another655Please respect copyright.PENANA9GEg6vrrfS
without damage.
I’m tired.655Please respect copyright.PENANAWJeBLe4BMj
Just this Wednesday I was driving home655Please respect copyright.PENANAwpNrtxBFlh
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road655Please respect copyright.PENANAn2MMiZN9Cn
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and655Please respect copyright.PENANA9T2qgiRus6
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me655Please respect copyright.PENANA3OwX6fl1Aa
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken655Please respect copyright.PENANAie1e5YwFA8
for those I’m not sure how to help655Please respect copyright.PENANAujMBTOFuTU
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.655Please respect copyright.PENANA2bIVEvjWNs
And while I was driving down the highway655Please respect copyright.PENANAfSYSlW7Pjz
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel655Please respect copyright.PENANADuHmS94q3A
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the655Please respect copyright.PENANAt1bkQNyXXC
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to655Please respect copyright.PENANABdJ9Ssa9Ar
collide with the wall, break through and destroy655Please respect copyright.PENANAIzB7Mnjaqg
the other side.655Please respect copyright.PENANAFbXPwOQth3
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right655Please respect copyright.PENANA2p5JcvrsNP
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t655Please respect copyright.PENANACaLPdy0kgh
harm anyone else in the process. But I655Please respect copyright.PENANAUswIX3FohQ
didn’t do either, even though I655Please respect copyright.PENANASUYQJ4Jxhs
got so scared for a minute655Please respect copyright.PENANAGZd7g7Mn35
that I would.
I’m tired.655Please respect copyright.PENANA2mTD7ZRpbT
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar655Please respect copyright.PENANA6GLoJSvU2U
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough655Please respect copyright.PENANAPvSeNKuAjV
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt655Please respect copyright.PENANAIhZJ1Y04QV
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten655Please respect copyright.PENANAPPekk1e4Gl
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife655Please respect copyright.PENANAeCTpnYVZLl
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart655Please respect copyright.PENANA5c4ZKY3jBj
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.655Please respect copyright.PENANAcDMQVVbWlf
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to655Please respect copyright.PENANApxIU0DjrX0
draw blood, but it was the first time655Please respect copyright.PENANAtwfhFBDIE4
I had allowed myself to655Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hi7NXR7QP
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.655Please respect copyright.PENANA4EgS6kJACb
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never655Please respect copyright.PENANAQe8OPZ6yTC
actually reach out and go through with it655Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ6ngrsq3z
I think because I’m afraid of not existing655Please respect copyright.PENANAqXOqkiOxoW
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I655Please respect copyright.PENANAenCSSxFBsa
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure655Please respect copyright.PENANAWSWZZ7DjaN
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people655Please respect copyright.PENANAEGiVpljctE
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself655Please respect copyright.PENANAcekBCjl0EB
and give up. I have thought about dying every day655Please respect copyright.PENANAlK5r17vn8V
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just655Please respect copyright.PENANA1fNpCuZ4DJ
go through with it.
I’m tired.655Please respect copyright.PENANAW4hjKfHIjC
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing655Please respect copyright.PENANAL0WnWCs8L6
for people to care about me when they should655Please respect copyright.PENANAlKdtlKnzmy
care about me on their own. I often think that655Please respect copyright.PENANA38FkTXUFqG
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that655Please respect copyright.PENANA6A7WADx56m
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.655Please respect copyright.PENANAXsYQBkuUfm
She often hurts me more than she improves my life655Please respect copyright.PENANA0LYHe3fcxV
but I’m too afraid to say anything because655Please respect copyright.PENANAcEKVvBTBhE
I need her. I need her to exist655Please respect copyright.PENANATi5I4wW5Kb
in my existence, and I need her to655Please respect copyright.PENANA70siimaXHq
be by my side.655Please respect copyright.PENANA3Obv1U0fcM
But I’m tired.
I’m tired655Please respect copyright.PENANAA0PdZIoJdt
of being tired655Please respect copyright.PENANAGokmMBwACz
in this tiring life.
