I’m tired.854Please respect copyright.PENANAr1m0Wd2F1W
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by854Please respect copyright.PENANAKNyoRRH5Qy
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead854Please respect copyright.PENANA44iOgRWEmN
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy854Please respect copyright.PENANAqDc9EyKVSh
to pick them up and set them back down.854Please respect copyright.PENANAWcPVuscRiF
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing854Please respect copyright.PENANAa0QzQgyQdo
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk854Please respect copyright.PENANAmAeTxQpzG0
like a normal person, thank you.854Please respect copyright.PENANAyjylkaGiCo
I try.854Please respect copyright.PENANASh1pMkHLP1
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking854Please respect copyright.PENANAeU6D8eNmhG
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground854Please respect copyright.PENANAuVWCahwjB2
just barely making it from one place to another854Please respect copyright.PENANA38DuURNiHV
without damage.
I’m tired.854Please respect copyright.PENANABQ1GdgIdUJ
Just this Wednesday I was driving home854Please respect copyright.PENANAktM4hJ2qim
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road854Please respect copyright.PENANALKsrZoimBD
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and854Please respect copyright.PENANAOMZS33rQb4
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me854Please respect copyright.PENANA17U8oSKKYY
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken854Please respect copyright.PENANAWyqexYXGBr
for those I’m not sure how to help854Please respect copyright.PENANAY3n7kolXRW
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.854Please respect copyright.PENANANeSw2kaVzp
And while I was driving down the highway854Please respect copyright.PENANA8wdMoE8c2a
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel854Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4hwCq3Kt3
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the854Please respect copyright.PENANAPRvHYlDv8u
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to854Please respect copyright.PENANAv0WTCx2zL9
collide with the wall, break through and destroy854Please respect copyright.PENANAtB0F9Oh04W
the other side.854Please respect copyright.PENANApigrL6hkpm
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right854Please respect copyright.PENANA4IDFAHtN3B
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t854Please respect copyright.PENANAtGeRPtnC8g
harm anyone else in the process. But I854Please respect copyright.PENANAog8b3XHc0W
didn’t do either, even though I854Please respect copyright.PENANANifeudI4Tb
got so scared for a minute854Please respect copyright.PENANAN0FoBYTizD
that I would.
I’m tired.854Please respect copyright.PENANApusvWSFkO3
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar854Please respect copyright.PENANAEVopYyPu09
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough854Please respect copyright.PENANAS281gl1OLx
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt854Please respect copyright.PENANAP3PwojhsRg
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten854Please respect copyright.PENANAXZDWYo07OM
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife854Please respect copyright.PENANAoVaSxezIWF
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart854Please respect copyright.PENANAJHKTkxYUl5
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.854Please respect copyright.PENANA960b2fnYdO
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to854Please respect copyright.PENANAz3hBZn5iOl
draw blood, but it was the first time854Please respect copyright.PENANAGs59GhkKeW
I had allowed myself to854Please respect copyright.PENANAjRKT6lvjLA
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.854Please respect copyright.PENANA4vio1W3Ajx
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never854Please respect copyright.PENANAniZtm6jTgm
actually reach out and go through with it854Please respect copyright.PENANA3zPjqdu5Iu
I think because I’m afraid of not existing854Please respect copyright.PENANApN1ZsfNgqg
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I854Please respect copyright.PENANAm691UekQ37
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure854Please respect copyright.PENANAoMsrKMYGK4
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people854Please respect copyright.PENANAGywYi9cQP7
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself854Please respect copyright.PENANAGSDQxm8FwZ
and give up. I have thought about dying every day854Please respect copyright.PENANAdKJnaXzKzi
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just854Please respect copyright.PENANAAu3xZdLaSQ
go through with it.
I’m tired.854Please respect copyright.PENANA7VQTvBiFJB
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing854Please respect copyright.PENANAzKINgeszZc
for people to care about me when they should854Please respect copyright.PENANABi2jiYMY8q
care about me on their own. I often think that854Please respect copyright.PENANAT0eAgnaHzZ
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that854Please respect copyright.PENANAlnADVFkvF8
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.854Please respect copyright.PENANASPfTwnza8Y
She often hurts me more than she improves my life854Please respect copyright.PENANAWM7nB1TWvy
but I’m too afraid to say anything because854Please respect copyright.PENANARndXsq6Vc4
I need her. I need her to exist854Please respect copyright.PENANANXvgS1srKj
in my existence, and I need her to854Please respect copyright.PENANAyHyIvSAhJP
be by my side.854Please respect copyright.PENANADSpdtmk4du
But I’m tired.
I’m tired854Please respect copyright.PENANAulwURluqQN
of being tired854Please respect copyright.PENANApUZoj4RaLH
in this tiring life.
