I’m tired.756Please respect copyright.PENANAa7xLoYg3KJ
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by756Please respect copyright.PENANATN12tdPGvS
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead756Please respect copyright.PENANAxMiexf6Sr7
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy756Please respect copyright.PENANA3ryLPuwLEG
to pick them up and set them back down.756Please respect copyright.PENANAHizsSfKIPC
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing756Please respect copyright.PENANAFOSRugnHNM
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk756Please respect copyright.PENANAiKtPmOXOOz
like a normal person, thank you.756Please respect copyright.PENANAS4vUfFSw4L
I try.756Please respect copyright.PENANABUbc2vJ43D
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking756Please respect copyright.PENANAtF8Lxy1afY
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground756Please respect copyright.PENANAkTJ35i8ieQ
just barely making it from one place to another756Please respect copyright.PENANAWeKBYyq0Ks
without damage.
I’m tired.756Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qj4b3rBxw
Just this Wednesday I was driving home756Please respect copyright.PENANAEqMgTZ1l6e
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road756Please respect copyright.PENANAqCkapp0dBj
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and756Please respect copyright.PENANAI2RCvCnj8i
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me756Please respect copyright.PENANANYw0rOZ1PS
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken756Please respect copyright.PENANANWwoKjVybW
for those I’m not sure how to help756Please respect copyright.PENANABbC5KRf7sL
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.756Please respect copyright.PENANAH39m9kTOTY
And while I was driving down the highway756Please respect copyright.PENANAUf9ZBHvPzq
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel756Please respect copyright.PENANADxHYYeHm31
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the756Please respect copyright.PENANAs8cjXBVzpN
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to756Please respect copyright.PENANAnXT9hQHcmC
collide with the wall, break through and destroy756Please respect copyright.PENANABUvUsBvmW7
the other side.756Please respect copyright.PENANAx7OLu8rLqX
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right756Please respect copyright.PENANAFqhEOARsOE
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t756Please respect copyright.PENANAENW7YTmsCe
harm anyone else in the process. But I756Please respect copyright.PENANAGjzHRnvztR
didn’t do either, even though I756Please respect copyright.PENANA8OCB35mPRE
got so scared for a minute756Please respect copyright.PENANAWxqiKzBeg4
that I would.
I’m tired.756Please respect copyright.PENANAo3Fx9PZ6lV
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar756Please respect copyright.PENANA8RQ4Lp3G9H
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough756Please respect copyright.PENANALCjviIjJN4
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt756Please respect copyright.PENANAacuVfFeHi1
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten756Please respect copyright.PENANAjRqdL12I1y
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife756Please respect copyright.PENANAsLQnN2CBU2
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart756Please respect copyright.PENANAo5yAT9W6NW
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.756Please respect copyright.PENANAvRYKbi1DDx
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to756Please respect copyright.PENANAxJVdG6NTmH
draw blood, but it was the first time756Please respect copyright.PENANAI7rBelXFjk
I had allowed myself to756Please respect copyright.PENANA5oaoZVgbhb
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.756Please respect copyright.PENANAotlgl1wMmp
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never756Please respect copyright.PENANAvy9hh78OnT
actually reach out and go through with it756Please respect copyright.PENANAohLl7VB7mJ
I think because I’m afraid of not existing756Please respect copyright.PENANAHKH7p9EK9Z
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I756Please respect copyright.PENANAv16zdEn8xc
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure756Please respect copyright.PENANAPYIjyUW9Sa
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people756Please respect copyright.PENANAaBMfyotZyv
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself756Please respect copyright.PENANAHcxrFRXEty
and give up. I have thought about dying every day756Please respect copyright.PENANAGm3ie8g8UU
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just756Please respect copyright.PENANAQZoFsb5Yin
go through with it.
I’m tired.756Please respect copyright.PENANAPDLU9CVNhl
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing756Please respect copyright.PENANAOoiKjELwSh
for people to care about me when they should756Please respect copyright.PENANA4x9pfrbNSv
care about me on their own. I often think that756Please respect copyright.PENANAFhwUN96U2x
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that756Please respect copyright.PENANAbD9YCn199M
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.756Please respect copyright.PENANAXIycHXboFY
She often hurts me more than she improves my life756Please respect copyright.PENANAir2F2wqtZD
but I’m too afraid to say anything because756Please respect copyright.PENANAkddhrKKI9f
I need her. I need her to exist756Please respect copyright.PENANAwSFJm6Oybq
in my existence, and I need her to756Please respect copyright.PENANAwwVAwIyOjB
be by my side.756Please respect copyright.PENANAdVyclNETVS
But I’m tired.
I’m tired756Please respect copyright.PENANA0PU1UPyCbS
of being tired756Please respect copyright.PENANATbWu0HcJ8O
in this tiring life.
