I’m tired.720Please respect copyright.PENANAiA7DuxhEuR
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by720Please respect copyright.PENANAHXhIA27Sfe
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead720Please respect copyright.PENANAz47SSSgkoi
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy720Please respect copyright.PENANAjgCrJjRWAF
to pick them up and set them back down.720Please respect copyright.PENANAS3PUIkeWVl
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing720Please respect copyright.PENANAjfa8UNJcoF
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk720Please respect copyright.PENANAmcLoll9YTr
like a normal person, thank you.720Please respect copyright.PENANAEjM03oNrLO
I try.720Please respect copyright.PENANAqHiQ7mUSDk
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking720Please respect copyright.PENANAJGgJrtByBV
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground720Please respect copyright.PENANAJeRou4nxxN
just barely making it from one place to another720Please respect copyright.PENANAg62RXEilk9
without damage.
I’m tired.720Please respect copyright.PENANAPKYWtJme7C
Just this Wednesday I was driving home720Please respect copyright.PENANAGNoMmPzL01
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road720Please respect copyright.PENANAJ851b9YxyS
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and720Please respect copyright.PENANAXdLN5UJtoy
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me720Please respect copyright.PENANAXTM1oWDciQ
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken720Please respect copyright.PENANA7BB3GEIV0x
for those I’m not sure how to help720Please respect copyright.PENANA63YIew76QZ
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.720Please respect copyright.PENANA2weE5dsity
And while I was driving down the highway720Please respect copyright.PENANAu6KYCL1FZZ
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel720Please respect copyright.PENANAtXuB0xrrTS
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the720Please respect copyright.PENANAXpkEtwYLrS
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to720Please respect copyright.PENANAVCHQi8lnx5
collide with the wall, break through and destroy720Please respect copyright.PENANAzYDorkVj7g
the other side.720Please respect copyright.PENANAiWoSTlXwHw
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right720Please respect copyright.PENANAmRwtHXeYUa
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t720Please respect copyright.PENANAxnhQMqR9rM
harm anyone else in the process. But I720Please respect copyright.PENANA9HINXSEt8z
didn’t do either, even though I720Please respect copyright.PENANAEEhLd1RecF
got so scared for a minute720Please respect copyright.PENANAF4ulYkGRdK
that I would.
I’m tired.720Please respect copyright.PENANAy0YcT8Tu5T
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar720Please respect copyright.PENANAnEwHTz0lxF
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough720Please respect copyright.PENANAbuksTfI7FW
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt720Please respect copyright.PENANAOlkZZBReQE
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten720Please respect copyright.PENANAV4W9fLIIQk
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife720Please respect copyright.PENANAKtiaUJrnqM
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart720Please respect copyright.PENANAyySkKOfKCq
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.720Please respect copyright.PENANAUO7VELr9lm
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to720Please respect copyright.PENANAa9uPcbUmxm
draw blood, but it was the first time720Please respect copyright.PENANATuzTrLilSx
I had allowed myself to720Please respect copyright.PENANAL7C8qIrDAM
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.720Please respect copyright.PENANAFxkOmq8Zgx
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never720Please respect copyright.PENANA7rToYOYr4W
actually reach out and go through with it720Please respect copyright.PENANAfJJw0Xt1in
I think because I’m afraid of not existing720Please respect copyright.PENANA3NIJkN2ERt
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I720Please respect copyright.PENANAUUrtVKtsaY
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure720Please respect copyright.PENANAEMgS02lUAK
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people720Please respect copyright.PENANA2PH8ZsMurA
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself720Please respect copyright.PENANAL5HiWerwgb
and give up. I have thought about dying every day720Please respect copyright.PENANA98t5dqbvuB
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just720Please respect copyright.PENANAMO5v3HZfaN
go through with it.
I’m tired.720Please respect copyright.PENANAuIznpxgsa0
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing720Please respect copyright.PENANAcCf7Z7r4yK
for people to care about me when they should720Please respect copyright.PENANAlHDqubg7kx
care about me on their own. I often think that720Please respect copyright.PENANA81WvihBW8K
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that720Please respect copyright.PENANA3c0gOHEQvp
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.720Please respect copyright.PENANAwuJsGiRcmg
She often hurts me more than she improves my life720Please respect copyright.PENANA2ohUdBZmvJ
but I’m too afraid to say anything because720Please respect copyright.PENANAITFaL4tJKX
I need her. I need her to exist720Please respect copyright.PENANAmpTLh9FSNc
in my existence, and I need her to720Please respect copyright.PENANAgMBJ3eqS1h
be by my side.720Please respect copyright.PENANAdWyjOMNtDD
But I’m tired.
I’m tired720Please respect copyright.PENANAaaE4AtsO0C
of being tired720Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q4T8oGKIm
in this tiring life.
