I’m tired.659Please respect copyright.PENANA3zWWCPqZdO
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by659Please respect copyright.PENANAEbAuD8rNjV
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead659Please respect copyright.PENANAA7IIFF74Kw
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy659Please respect copyright.PENANAG6tQ7PWv5U
to pick them up and set them back down.659Please respect copyright.PENANAwbtq2ArIWP
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing659Please respect copyright.PENANACxQPlORPGR
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk659Please respect copyright.PENANAyC9jgCqmAL
like a normal person, thank you.659Please respect copyright.PENANAzH0rHXzlyw
I try.659Please respect copyright.PENANAbldHZ8f5D3
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking659Please respect copyright.PENANAeKOUkwM555
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground659Please respect copyright.PENANAZj9qkREghR
just barely making it from one place to another659Please respect copyright.PENANAghSyPHRWlu
without damage.
I’m tired.659Please respect copyright.PENANAPsTQHe13YH
Just this Wednesday I was driving home659Please respect copyright.PENANAHHT2rbBg4U
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road659Please respect copyright.PENANAvgp322A57w
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and659Please respect copyright.PENANAzKB1rMiHgf
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me659Please respect copyright.PENANA9VY8JkMorS
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken659Please respect copyright.PENANAuupOuJzIir
for those I’m not sure how to help659Please respect copyright.PENANA8uYH1TmTP6
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.659Please respect copyright.PENANAwREF7OPV0y
And while I was driving down the highway659Please respect copyright.PENANA6olJKPrEdR
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel659Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Wid3udvK
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the659Please respect copyright.PENANAHx0xE3ZslK
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to659Please respect copyright.PENANAp801iGiykB
collide with the wall, break through and destroy659Please respect copyright.PENANAhdmqgZUT0q
the other side.659Please respect copyright.PENANAbzACPV2hFR
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right659Please respect copyright.PENANAWkhwBhLax4
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t659Please respect copyright.PENANAahooRl7j8J
harm anyone else in the process. But I659Please respect copyright.PENANAfK9RyN71qj
didn’t do either, even though I659Please respect copyright.PENANAVDsqzu4iJ7
got so scared for a minute659Please respect copyright.PENANArbZjgaldYk
that I would.
I’m tired.659Please respect copyright.PENANAmHLGBTf8gA
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar659Please respect copyright.PENANAN87OlaCI6O
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough659Please respect copyright.PENANA9xocgcDLm6
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt659Please respect copyright.PENANAT3ewR3cYxt
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten659Please respect copyright.PENANAm1QoHSM0yA
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife659Please respect copyright.PENANAWOyGQS5bKp
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart659Please respect copyright.PENANAIBUrEh1ve3
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.659Please respect copyright.PENANApEROtZw6Sw
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to659Please respect copyright.PENANA2kwOeVSTSz
draw blood, but it was the first time659Please respect copyright.PENANA0haHoloHfO
I had allowed myself to659Please respect copyright.PENANA2hI38m4fuf
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.659Please respect copyright.PENANABPShjMxDrK
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never659Please respect copyright.PENANACnbi3woaHO
actually reach out and go through with it659Please respect copyright.PENANAhFVHu2it4o
I think because I’m afraid of not existing659Please respect copyright.PENANAwmBihrqM95
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I659Please respect copyright.PENANAjicsES6gZO
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure659Please respect copyright.PENANAKD9re2xbZO
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people659Please respect copyright.PENANAmlKH7RzuTo
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself659Please respect copyright.PENANAr4NigOGajh
and give up. I have thought about dying every day659Please respect copyright.PENANAbYmwjMwSWt
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just659Please respect copyright.PENANAokYanK3zLd
go through with it.
I’m tired.659Please respect copyright.PENANAZEJS4SuiRT
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing659Please respect copyright.PENANAj9BXX4h8TH
for people to care about me when they should659Please respect copyright.PENANANJCJgDWwCc
care about me on their own. I often think that659Please respect copyright.PENANAj5rgUwSttJ
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that659Please respect copyright.PENANA24yRzI2qh2
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.659Please respect copyright.PENANANJJQ6ipgpg
She often hurts me more than she improves my life659Please respect copyright.PENANAc8WieIbsgI
but I’m too afraid to say anything because659Please respect copyright.PENANAFytho4uYR2
I need her. I need her to exist659Please respect copyright.PENANAyP1hqQCy4w
in my existence, and I need her to659Please respect copyright.PENANAMRZrcOO8Lt
be by my side.659Please respect copyright.PENANAOa4JYXVZhZ
But I’m tired.
I’m tired659Please respect copyright.PENANA6PNvGaLyQ9
of being tired659Please respect copyright.PENANA1wyHmikpPu
in this tiring life.
