I’m tired.676Please respect copyright.PENANAsB889B90Ap
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by676Please respect copyright.PENANAKQtl7bniJb
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead676Please respect copyright.PENANA37zL1YBT31
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy676Please respect copyright.PENANA5LwYA4lhk7
to pick them up and set them back down.676Please respect copyright.PENANALGQ8Ta7fi7
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing676Please respect copyright.PENANAaKxcZEQSDA
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk676Please respect copyright.PENANAZPrJtRqafh
like a normal person, thank you.676Please respect copyright.PENANAzBNRZCTbc4
I try.676Please respect copyright.PENANA8CKpZhlWli
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking676Please respect copyright.PENANArbcj46NbD4
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground676Please respect copyright.PENANACXT228mAJq
just barely making it from one place to another676Please respect copyright.PENANAcOgTthaP4h
without damage.
I’m tired.676Please respect copyright.PENANAZoUObCiTsq
Just this Wednesday I was driving home676Please respect copyright.PENANAcQfZLttC45
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road676Please respect copyright.PENANAy3CZKXdXEC
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and676Please respect copyright.PENANASWbR39dcwj
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me676Please respect copyright.PENANAB1EaXmKl87
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken676Please respect copyright.PENANA9QRiXUGoO8
for those I’m not sure how to help676Please respect copyright.PENANAsHP3gGnEsq
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.676Please respect copyright.PENANAEKzyecEqRm
And while I was driving down the highway676Please respect copyright.PENANAxJNGWuIAjF
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel676Please respect copyright.PENANAcfl4UrI82d
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the676Please respect copyright.PENANAt9fm1GQJpO
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to676Please respect copyright.PENANA4EYdVDBBw6
collide with the wall, break through and destroy676Please respect copyright.PENANAYClzWILPNW
the other side.676Please respect copyright.PENANAZbsbfpBi3E
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right676Please respect copyright.PENANAY0UP3GJQEx
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t676Please respect copyright.PENANA6d5tfys2G2
harm anyone else in the process. But I676Please respect copyright.PENANAhtXXv2kRm6
didn’t do either, even though I676Please respect copyright.PENANAjfTfgHJzQs
got so scared for a minute676Please respect copyright.PENANARiDMSSOH8u
that I would.
I’m tired.676Please respect copyright.PENANACKZfTeZgzf
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar676Please respect copyright.PENANAu0fRBFgNXx
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough676Please respect copyright.PENANAOzuasYkHcR
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt676Please respect copyright.PENANAy3pqvr9QZx
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten676Please respect copyright.PENANAEX6LHW1nps
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife676Please respect copyright.PENANAIa9shoTrsj
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart676Please respect copyright.PENANAarWbudc93w
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.676Please respect copyright.PENANAR7EmMyEZUj
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to676Please respect copyright.PENANAtk9wsgu5R4
draw blood, but it was the first time676Please respect copyright.PENANAWbw07RCVto
I had allowed myself to676Please respect copyright.PENANAZuwaE3Q3wD
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.676Please respect copyright.PENANA85Fz8bbeQ0
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never676Please respect copyright.PENANA8e583erH8d
actually reach out and go through with it676Please respect copyright.PENANAYIs8AYIgZJ
I think because I’m afraid of not existing676Please respect copyright.PENANAnIloNSJ5l9
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I676Please respect copyright.PENANAxZVJfOps5f
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure676Please respect copyright.PENANAn48q5W7k3O
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people676Please respect copyright.PENANAPZPMvWXWqL
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself676Please respect copyright.PENANAsAATjU2X8X
and give up. I have thought about dying every day676Please respect copyright.PENANAptLrUGJzbY
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just676Please respect copyright.PENANA3IjMzywmsp
go through with it.
I’m tired.676Please respect copyright.PENANAolwIQhZ4wE
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing676Please respect copyright.PENANAoqWBi3Lm7L
for people to care about me when they should676Please respect copyright.PENANAoihwOpXaL9
care about me on their own. I often think that676Please respect copyright.PENANAELbEFwS40U
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that676Please respect copyright.PENANA79XxxEnQe8
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.676Please respect copyright.PENANATbW9yHB9eJ
She often hurts me more than she improves my life676Please respect copyright.PENANAwBNLCwX2Oo
but I’m too afraid to say anything because676Please respect copyright.PENANAMdlN1MHnuG
I need her. I need her to exist676Please respect copyright.PENANARabRKH9lGK
in my existence, and I need her to676Please respect copyright.PENANAUEcwVXPTP7
be by my side.676Please respect copyright.PENANAKNyI2p8TOv
But I’m tired.
I’m tired676Please respect copyright.PENANAWttJlQqNdu
of being tired676Please respect copyright.PENANAYTOdDxgtCb
in this tiring life.
