I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANAWxaEHgpxRR
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by621Please respect copyright.PENANAvdaf8a155c
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead621Please respect copyright.PENANAsCNC9ooh1F
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy621Please respect copyright.PENANA6vf4pokOpQ
to pick them up and set them back down.621Please respect copyright.PENANAAhPpq7WC9n
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing621Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZglFIrVtm
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk621Please respect copyright.PENANAdTPWCifiAa
like a normal person, thank you.621Please respect copyright.PENANARyBdvyS58M
I try.621Please respect copyright.PENANAWDU0ZuHh45
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking621Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Qg8npsDs
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground621Please respect copyright.PENANAhVW73UWR35
just barely making it from one place to another621Please respect copyright.PENANAGdBSLKiXfN
without damage.
I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANAEaIuOY7MM8
Just this Wednesday I was driving home621Please respect copyright.PENANAoKSDrQmOxJ
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road621Please respect copyright.PENANA9vdlcCDOsP
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and621Please respect copyright.PENANAaP4IlZtMPB
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me621Please respect copyright.PENANAGMiAUTBDuX
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken621Please respect copyright.PENANAPgsYXRBNdm
for those I’m not sure how to help621Please respect copyright.PENANAVdgiWDgGCh
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.621Please respect copyright.PENANAPejOtvl6DN
And while I was driving down the highway621Please respect copyright.PENANAWUvbtYhM55
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel621Please respect copyright.PENANA2rSnzBc6HV
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the621Please respect copyright.PENANATIpWpF4Euy
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to621Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZGla56eqb
collide with the wall, break through and destroy621Please respect copyright.PENANAvJgukpYx7n
the other side.621Please respect copyright.PENANACAOaNUwrDl
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right621Please respect copyright.PENANAO9Kv7Hf7er
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t621Please respect copyright.PENANA0PJG5nxzK6
harm anyone else in the process. But I621Please respect copyright.PENANAnQrVs9WUEV
didn’t do either, even though I621Please respect copyright.PENANAMX1abgEqlG
got so scared for a minute621Please respect copyright.PENANAl57vPV4Ljs
that I would.
I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANAPIMTexrYsR
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar621Please respect copyright.PENANAvwxSCq9D6C
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough621Please respect copyright.PENANAsUCSL07Hwk
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt621Please respect copyright.PENANAc9TlOALNVs
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten621Please respect copyright.PENANAFKsrjPUsNz
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife621Please respect copyright.PENANAIfWscUaBxb
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart621Please respect copyright.PENANAr7wvyTzJE1
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.621Please respect copyright.PENANAo98rcd9v0X
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to621Please respect copyright.PENANA0WWuGbTpgg
draw blood, but it was the first time621Please respect copyright.PENANA97OI8wqZzs
I had allowed myself to621Please respect copyright.PENANAfrs4ovvIxG
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANAQMIuGOU6i0
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never621Please respect copyright.PENANAFEpQdcZhdU
actually reach out and go through with it621Please respect copyright.PENANAlnfGzn9QQx
I think because I’m afraid of not existing621Please respect copyright.PENANAiHFE9juqko
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I621Please respect copyright.PENANAkDZ2L6PM4o
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure621Please respect copyright.PENANAThS5tJWnZY
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people621Please respect copyright.PENANASHt4soNNsL
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself621Please respect copyright.PENANAkDyMbuMwTr
and give up. I have thought about dying every day621Please respect copyright.PENANAHMQkUSZX7c
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just621Please respect copyright.PENANApPmgrl9XLg
go through with it.
I’m tired.621Please respect copyright.PENANAmlxU1OK7ew
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing621Please respect copyright.PENANAxBUvTKVZVg
for people to care about me when they should621Please respect copyright.PENANAxowiLhdz8D
care about me on their own. I often think that621Please respect copyright.PENANAZD0X5WATH8
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that621Please respect copyright.PENANAii6qSXb0J0
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.621Please respect copyright.PENANAPZqVV9sxBy
She often hurts me more than she improves my life621Please respect copyright.PENANAsreHEs3jcy
but I’m too afraid to say anything because621Please respect copyright.PENANA0kcnyUA53G
I need her. I need her to exist621Please respect copyright.PENANAUkUyfadq3k
in my existence, and I need her to621Please respect copyright.PENANAOtTgEWNrVy
be by my side.621Please respect copyright.PENANAOVSxKFFJXp
But I’m tired.
I’m tired621Please respect copyright.PENANAGXbBIrlNhY
of being tired621Please respect copyright.PENANAhFDhAudhq9
in this tiring life.
