I’m tired.834Please respect copyright.PENANA2SqO2GFjCM
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by834Please respect copyright.PENANAYePptRKqAG
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead834Please respect copyright.PENANA2JAlM8Og56
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy834Please respect copyright.PENANA1q8sI72AJx
to pick them up and set them back down.834Please respect copyright.PENANARGhrpVsNP4
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing834Please respect copyright.PENANAYgDlMABjgF
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk834Please respect copyright.PENANAo1ucCni87f
like a normal person, thank you.834Please respect copyright.PENANAMBLnIKeVIT
I try.834Please respect copyright.PENANAPcpS7ynjv6
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking834Please respect copyright.PENANAVnG6jl3w3N
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground834Please respect copyright.PENANAqXmtZZ8QDf
just barely making it from one place to another834Please respect copyright.PENANAvFG2Ni3CIF
without damage.
I’m tired.834Please respect copyright.PENANAg1NVhNMikQ
Just this Wednesday I was driving home834Please respect copyright.PENANAJkORXnBjKU
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road834Please respect copyright.PENANAJwR3C7LgKT
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and834Please respect copyright.PENANA6fVgFi0fLi
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me834Please respect copyright.PENANAmrmxrZjGlo
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken834Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ5LkphOsz
for those I’m not sure how to help834Please respect copyright.PENANAOEdF5HhFQd
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.834Please respect copyright.PENANAXO0wiazDrj
And while I was driving down the highway834Please respect copyright.PENANAkIOEMONuZe
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel834Please respect copyright.PENANAoXDjvEiAVQ
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the834Please respect copyright.PENANAonPTc6O66A
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to834Please respect copyright.PENANAH7U6A28t6n
collide with the wall, break through and destroy834Please respect copyright.PENANA9PmTzmLgrQ
the other side.834Please respect copyright.PENANAeLMaN10uW6
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right834Please respect copyright.PENANAg3adBJVDKt
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t834Please respect copyright.PENANA6kKpogXAkl
harm anyone else in the process. But I834Please respect copyright.PENANA3sAimS850J
didn’t do either, even though I834Please respect copyright.PENANA9BsAhl4DoX
got so scared for a minute834Please respect copyright.PENANAjDpddkh3yU
that I would.
I’m tired.834Please respect copyright.PENANAWgc3HHCfWJ
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar834Please respect copyright.PENANAofusRWwpDp
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough834Please respect copyright.PENANA8GjRemhRaB
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt834Please respect copyright.PENANA5WzYsrvjE5
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten834Please respect copyright.PENANAbpMRwVImM7
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife834Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cne45IZkd
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart834Please respect copyright.PENANA3oDK6kFHBQ
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.834Please respect copyright.PENANA2ysFBvxrTp
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to834Please respect copyright.PENANAyc3jX6Dbyv
draw blood, but it was the first time834Please respect copyright.PENANAbfMKgyxNeN
I had allowed myself to834Please respect copyright.PENANAufItltxwlE
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.834Please respect copyright.PENANAZuSS5wCvl5
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never834Please respect copyright.PENANAG85ytzOKXy
actually reach out and go through with it834Please respect copyright.PENANASG6KK7UuPn
I think because I’m afraid of not existing834Please respect copyright.PENANABYsInPBxWK
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I834Please respect copyright.PENANArxQ5YNMFUZ
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure834Please respect copyright.PENANA6dXc8oL0bs
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people834Please respect copyright.PENANAst0OtogCZg
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself834Please respect copyright.PENANAah1faHznFZ
and give up. I have thought about dying every day834Please respect copyright.PENANA3BKhnQO01w
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just834Please respect copyright.PENANAX82rQisvIy
go through with it.
I’m tired.834Please respect copyright.PENANAWEIveskHPZ
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing834Please respect copyright.PENANAQL6qNsApIb
for people to care about me when they should834Please respect copyright.PENANAFkSNMGC3UQ
care about me on their own. I often think that834Please respect copyright.PENANAs1wnyLSpGX
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that834Please respect copyright.PENANAwdhuOEjyJ5
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.834Please respect copyright.PENANAgLfBdFm1tj
She often hurts me more than she improves my life834Please respect copyright.PENANADNjbcVHIU3
but I’m too afraid to say anything because834Please respect copyright.PENANAQPoYqDXgQJ
I need her. I need her to exist834Please respect copyright.PENANAbZrub2w7xU
in my existence, and I need her to834Please respect copyright.PENANAMTTZzxr3Ci
be by my side.834Please respect copyright.PENANAZkQAHPUcVt
But I’m tired.
I’m tired834Please respect copyright.PENANAnaR1ZUjRIG
of being tired834Please respect copyright.PENANAcdNUeKrq4J
in this tiring life.
