I’m tired.680Please respect copyright.PENANAjJnKO6IqMB
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by680Please respect copyright.PENANAgt33WHtUFN
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead680Please respect copyright.PENANAzRFqa0mETo
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy680Please respect copyright.PENANA4cRaRm75B6
to pick them up and set them back down.680Please respect copyright.PENANAbAKX5ttIR1
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing680Please respect copyright.PENANAO1HPei1JMF
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk680Please respect copyright.PENANACtTd3ilkbw
like a normal person, thank you.680Please respect copyright.PENANA71HJwkAe2L
I try.680Please respect copyright.PENANAdcBKXWb3LG
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking680Please respect copyright.PENANApeRG7p1oSP
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground680Please respect copyright.PENANANdk3E8cfXx
just barely making it from one place to another680Please respect copyright.PENANAa2VbWStZFU
without damage.
I’m tired.680Please respect copyright.PENANAHtDplod2Jd
Just this Wednesday I was driving home680Please respect copyright.PENANA8pgD87sRsm
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road680Please respect copyright.PENANAsvNREoEGn4
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and680Please respect copyright.PENANA5ooHKHGACd
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me680Please respect copyright.PENANAG5y9t0thYa
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken680Please respect copyright.PENANAHtYLRV5xQa
for those I’m not sure how to help680Please respect copyright.PENANAlwxFNt6L04
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.680Please respect copyright.PENANAr4968hXLVt
And while I was driving down the highway680Please respect copyright.PENANAczsezPNy9W
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel680Please respect copyright.PENANAlHr7qTlUCT
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the680Please respect copyright.PENANAfb0lxBBSjr
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to680Please respect copyright.PENANAkYu7LtZpuN
collide with the wall, break through and destroy680Please respect copyright.PENANAagmfoRNEyg
the other side.680Please respect copyright.PENANA6OZBLfSNUr
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right680Please respect copyright.PENANAvw6bac6G8p
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t680Please respect copyright.PENANA8qxy84qOtB
harm anyone else in the process. But I680Please respect copyright.PENANARB6FHb5rQd
didn’t do either, even though I680Please respect copyright.PENANAxiFNi0ZszH
got so scared for a minute680Please respect copyright.PENANAAmbyuVs1UI
that I would.
I’m tired.680Please respect copyright.PENANA78nmNAIIjL
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar680Please respect copyright.PENANA9q8tURj99m
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough680Please respect copyright.PENANAbmHoneZCp4
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt680Please respect copyright.PENANAjG1SqrQBzZ
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten680Please respect copyright.PENANASRjTtyRQW5
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife680Please respect copyright.PENANARxpcBNAMH4
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart680Please respect copyright.PENANAsBmtmcHeUY
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.680Please respect copyright.PENANA2geoZgkSzZ
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to680Please respect copyright.PENANA49xlOSjL47
draw blood, but it was the first time680Please respect copyright.PENANA7gOflJZTJC
I had allowed myself to680Please respect copyright.PENANA8s4nEcEd6J
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.680Please respect copyright.PENANAArVVZIP227
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never680Please respect copyright.PENANAqvP1bdaAoF
actually reach out and go through with it680Please respect copyright.PENANAbv0KF9kTBr
I think because I’m afraid of not existing680Please respect copyright.PENANAXiIgRTamg1
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I680Please respect copyright.PENANAZkTilQsQsQ
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure680Please respect copyright.PENANAwPDtKzpqaF
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people680Please respect copyright.PENANAmhtnkjOJwO
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself680Please respect copyright.PENANAYV3z8GTmzb
and give up. I have thought about dying every day680Please respect copyright.PENANApwDNFMPDqR
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just680Please respect copyright.PENANAMxhFk48q2F
go through with it.
I’m tired.680Please respect copyright.PENANAMnpCNxvk7B
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing680Please respect copyright.PENANAR9mprMdjEC
for people to care about me when they should680Please respect copyright.PENANAR1MEaWD8vy
care about me on their own. I often think that680Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ6qrrlkVn
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that680Please respect copyright.PENANAiidTrjaQUn
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.680Please respect copyright.PENANASfB7wGErQe
She often hurts me more than she improves my life680Please respect copyright.PENANAkJvv4QKLZP
but I’m too afraid to say anything because680Please respect copyright.PENANAaZPbpqw8dQ
I need her. I need her to exist680Please respect copyright.PENANA9ijVVTpFVh
in my existence, and I need her to680Please respect copyright.PENANAGJGaKPxZnM
be by my side.680Please respect copyright.PENANAcKXCq537Ti
But I’m tired.
I’m tired680Please respect copyright.PENANA13I31dvKhC
of being tired680Please respect copyright.PENANAUBefGLKMgN
in this tiring life.
