I’m tired.667Please respect copyright.PENANAs3LQ16JGGu
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by667Please respect copyright.PENANArSeXjia3h0
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead667Please respect copyright.PENANAAkAXsv9uNN
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy667Please respect copyright.PENANANaVEbQcPE8
to pick them up and set them back down.667Please respect copyright.PENANAKyCFwZRg9o
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing667Please respect copyright.PENANAEQBNTI9iyw
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk667Please respect copyright.PENANAYUIg3LifmW
like a normal person, thank you.667Please respect copyright.PENANAaRe9ryRvbo
I try.667Please respect copyright.PENANAo2kDkIBXHY
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking667Please respect copyright.PENANAy9IYmYrBkq
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground667Please respect copyright.PENANAgVfwhVHG6u
just barely making it from one place to another667Please respect copyright.PENANAxNXow5Yjet
without damage.
I’m tired.667Please respect copyright.PENANACVz9ABcYNf
Just this Wednesday I was driving home667Please respect copyright.PENANAvjFhmvrAUl
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road667Please respect copyright.PENANARHSzMsNq9f
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and667Please respect copyright.PENANApYGUI7PJtO
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me667Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ4kAEL9I8
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken667Please respect copyright.PENANAbpm6Hsf3Hx
for those I’m not sure how to help667Please respect copyright.PENANAxeWoY5l7ZG
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.667Please respect copyright.PENANAGthInJmVGI
And while I was driving down the highway667Please respect copyright.PENANAW5KzTiqtr3
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel667Please respect copyright.PENANAsnKS9JAU8X
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the667Please respect copyright.PENANAX1qKxjuFMP
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to667Please respect copyright.PENANAh1T8gg82ZS
collide with the wall, break through and destroy667Please respect copyright.PENANAKBcSTnZmwQ
the other side.667Please respect copyright.PENANABgkFoMBaVk
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right667Please respect copyright.PENANAxnIqxR5I2v
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t667Please respect copyright.PENANAiJievG9mpc
harm anyone else in the process. But I667Please respect copyright.PENANA1q6lQvlwhQ
didn’t do either, even though I667Please respect copyright.PENANA7ErPk7GxAC
got so scared for a minute667Please respect copyright.PENANAm1flgeP0xK
that I would.
I’m tired.667Please respect copyright.PENANAAoCwjM2NrC
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar667Please respect copyright.PENANAqO3vPTUqOH
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough667Please respect copyright.PENANAWUZUOzTtyB
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt667Please respect copyright.PENANA8EsUUlXjjq
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten667Please respect copyright.PENANAB852OUJdjY
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife667Please respect copyright.PENANAMrQRlKxANp
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart667Please respect copyright.PENANA1twUmFaW6v
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.667Please respect copyright.PENANAMA9rBlsXx9
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to667Please respect copyright.PENANA4WbuvZ8fUB
draw blood, but it was the first time667Please respect copyright.PENANATDubisRUrO
I had allowed myself to667Please respect copyright.PENANAfNvHpdCEb9
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.667Please respect copyright.PENANAiHvUXHco8Q
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never667Please respect copyright.PENANAxLQZl8KNKN
actually reach out and go through with it667Please respect copyright.PENANAxyG7JjKp0Y
I think because I’m afraid of not existing667Please respect copyright.PENANAjhLzTkva2i
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I667Please respect copyright.PENANAlQGSNgSdta
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure667Please respect copyright.PENANAt6VRXrpG6c
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people667Please respect copyright.PENANASIeO3AGrSN
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself667Please respect copyright.PENANAypf4x98QYw
and give up. I have thought about dying every day667Please respect copyright.PENANAV5l6gHE89M
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just667Please respect copyright.PENANAwjFgH6BTQt
go through with it.
I’m tired.667Please respect copyright.PENANACEUFUnIgVg
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing667Please respect copyright.PENANAx1Zr027cWW
for people to care about me when they should667Please respect copyright.PENANALYzUnDV15b
care about me on their own. I often think that667Please respect copyright.PENANA24wAOEkeOz
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that667Please respect copyright.PENANAt5LSkbZlCU
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.667Please respect copyright.PENANA1A7OcJUZax
She often hurts me more than she improves my life667Please respect copyright.PENANA2duzsiqzjo
but I’m too afraid to say anything because667Please respect copyright.PENANAFK5Lm0EUBN
I need her. I need her to exist667Please respect copyright.PENANAwYp1jmHZrF
in my existence, and I need her to667Please respect copyright.PENANAnv3wW3yLKk
be by my side.667Please respect copyright.PENANADpyBcOhREJ
But I’m tired.
I’m tired667Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1kDXG8pAF
of being tired667Please respect copyright.PENANAWtwvuXKX2T
in this tiring life.
