I’m tired.658Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2qA9y8wot
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by658Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kec1ZOWyq
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead658Please respect copyright.PENANAjcllJT46d5
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy658Please respect copyright.PENANAAZLpf76Unm
to pick them up and set them back down.658Please respect copyright.PENANARAW8Tr5VSs
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing658Please respect copyright.PENANA3h9Eyt8eds
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk658Please respect copyright.PENANAXJtY287FVo
like a normal person, thank you.658Please respect copyright.PENANA9SGrA4jyeV
I try.658Please respect copyright.PENANAx2ARRt6PGQ
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking658Please respect copyright.PENANAp0jaHSjEzi
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground658Please respect copyright.PENANAPQEhX31KTu
just barely making it from one place to another658Please respect copyright.PENANAwHjgESEzFG
without damage.
I’m tired.658Please respect copyright.PENANApaLVBPFqsq
Just this Wednesday I was driving home658Please respect copyright.PENANATc2IoU5zHV
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road658Please respect copyright.PENANAalW0zRnYie
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and658Please respect copyright.PENANA3eWCI6jGOv
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me658Please respect copyright.PENANAvz0rpbOpX7
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken658Please respect copyright.PENANAIzamW7avEF
for those I’m not sure how to help658Please respect copyright.PENANAiMvoIn6RfT
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.658Please respect copyright.PENANAyr2GgMMvQY
And while I was driving down the highway658Please respect copyright.PENANAUAl1HO3S0D
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel658Please respect copyright.PENANAZuOD2zFfS4
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the658Please respect copyright.PENANAyMVursOK32
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to658Please respect copyright.PENANAc1XMZcm5tV
collide with the wall, break through and destroy658Please respect copyright.PENANAIUtjUASeLy
the other side.658Please respect copyright.PENANA83X4BprKrj
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right658Please respect copyright.PENANAkDYiyl4vdo
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t658Please respect copyright.PENANAWPuRL4gi9V
harm anyone else in the process. But I658Please respect copyright.PENANAVHxLahnY31
didn’t do either, even though I658Please respect copyright.PENANAIxR5LAs3ov
got so scared for a minute658Please respect copyright.PENANAt9IIP9hFKr
that I would.
I’m tired.658Please respect copyright.PENANA4dSBWE4P8N
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar658Please respect copyright.PENANALwRbs3Hd4B
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough658Please respect copyright.PENANAibEZb0I5HZ
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt658Please respect copyright.PENANAgOq8x60Mzw
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten658Please respect copyright.PENANAWXPD3mEY3X
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife658Please respect copyright.PENANAIj2zy3YsO3
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart658Please respect copyright.PENANACv3LPBS4QI
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.658Please respect copyright.PENANAYaAAf8b43U
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to658Please respect copyright.PENANAg9idIplfB9
draw blood, but it was the first time658Please respect copyright.PENANAUHsiMH1l82
I had allowed myself to658Please respect copyright.PENANA5LlIDs1gP6
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.658Please respect copyright.PENANABSVyN0vMPL
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never658Please respect copyright.PENANAjqKyCRVerB
actually reach out and go through with it658Please respect copyright.PENANADdMFek3WWi
I think because I’m afraid of not existing658Please respect copyright.PENANAc3vLATZETw
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I658Please respect copyright.PENANA4vdDxHit4F
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure658Please respect copyright.PENANA5BzxR8Mf9u
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people658Please respect copyright.PENANAQhWUVmvGiT
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself658Please respect copyright.PENANApYxRKwJLXk
and give up. I have thought about dying every day658Please respect copyright.PENANAiAW7X9o4ui
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just658Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1wpkIgQpY
go through with it.
I’m tired.658Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Ou5F5WeF
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing658Please respect copyright.PENANAwblksdecE3
for people to care about me when they should658Please respect copyright.PENANArX87UiF3J1
care about me on their own. I often think that658Please respect copyright.PENANAShS1FT5g5n
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that658Please respect copyright.PENANAQ86yxNsvdC
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.658Please respect copyright.PENANAcNaXM1Uczk
She often hurts me more than she improves my life658Please respect copyright.PENANAXgRYU4gj33
but I’m too afraid to say anything because658Please respect copyright.PENANA1qeMPDV3Bm
I need her. I need her to exist658Please respect copyright.PENANAdHS0Bk1dFx
in my existence, and I need her to658Please respect copyright.PENANAJI9nGbHkxy
be by my side.658Please respect copyright.PENANAP9DtehcAEx
But I’m tired.
I’m tired658Please respect copyright.PENANA9g6FzA8sJW
of being tired658Please respect copyright.PENANAHpJQ2Ah6CO
in this tiring life.
