I’m tired.678Please respect copyright.PENANAaqoXbALMKV
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by678Please respect copyright.PENANAfQUMlvwMEd
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead678Please respect copyright.PENANAAZkMULYCDD
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy678Please respect copyright.PENANAIeyp1NZ1cn
to pick them up and set them back down.678Please respect copyright.PENANAx3htVrV9IZ
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing678Please respect copyright.PENANAYeH7qSDwMG
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk678Please respect copyright.PENANAbcqrN268ps
like a normal person, thank you.678Please respect copyright.PENANAX662kL1Dkv
I try.678Please respect copyright.PENANA9LhgcCjhim
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking678Please respect copyright.PENANA2B8IZvpXZc
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground678Please respect copyright.PENANAMiU5GinS5n
just barely making it from one place to another678Please respect copyright.PENANAvrDvAZaMji
without damage.
I’m tired.678Please respect copyright.PENANASrDE3Iccs5
Just this Wednesday I was driving home678Please respect copyright.PENANAMPXRsqmKk2
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road678Please respect copyright.PENANAfIOUDNyn9r
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and678Please respect copyright.PENANAZvrG3HpnM8
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me678Please respect copyright.PENANARpS6wxsPzY
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken678Please respect copyright.PENANABdVXyeydy1
for those I’m not sure how to help678Please respect copyright.PENANANM8LhSPRic
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.678Please respect copyright.PENANANvDGCvi2D6
And while I was driving down the highway678Please respect copyright.PENANA26deozgz1l
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel678Please respect copyright.PENANA8hmG2Xl3nx
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the678Please respect copyright.PENANATFBQMOTRvw
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to678Please respect copyright.PENANATHrew7acIC
collide with the wall, break through and destroy678Please respect copyright.PENANAdh9rdOsmo3
the other side.678Please respect copyright.PENANAAEuhGZE3uV
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right678Please respect copyright.PENANAMEcNStpGE2
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t678Please respect copyright.PENANA8vQNyoW0kc
harm anyone else in the process. But I678Please respect copyright.PENANAqLSc1ZG98L
didn’t do either, even though I678Please respect copyright.PENANAcXG1CscPwB
got so scared for a minute678Please respect copyright.PENANAiGUKrU81Lm
that I would.
I’m tired.678Please respect copyright.PENANASVZ28n9vm9
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar678Please respect copyright.PENANA3oFkHxXkiH
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough678Please respect copyright.PENANAJk5xb9Y3rd
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt678Please respect copyright.PENANAAm8jr2PaKX
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten678Please respect copyright.PENANAaeSoMM8EUQ
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife678Please respect copyright.PENANA7zOIOvK3yP
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart678Please respect copyright.PENANAzPfrRVogkM
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.678Please respect copyright.PENANAPpaoS4hs8c
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to678Please respect copyright.PENANAM57acMYDoU
draw blood, but it was the first time678Please respect copyright.PENANAwmrAMXdGUV
I had allowed myself to678Please respect copyright.PENANAtH26KZcpWP
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.678Please respect copyright.PENANAaG5PDW49nR
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never678Please respect copyright.PENANAnWiTETdZTw
actually reach out and go through with it678Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dnpvk9Ihw
I think because I’m afraid of not existing678Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ7roUR7Ee
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I678Please respect copyright.PENANAMnksFkn35u
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure678Please respect copyright.PENANAFt8oMMBu61
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people678Please respect copyright.PENANAK5GmaUV2ut
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself678Please respect copyright.PENANAnDaLUjCPEV
and give up. I have thought about dying every day678Please respect copyright.PENANAbgPNlg1mDw
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just678Please respect copyright.PENANAZzCJ9gJXZv
go through with it.
I’m tired.678Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hvp1bpo5e
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing678Please respect copyright.PENANAaEtmQwG19b
for people to care about me when they should678Please respect copyright.PENANA9Htt5Kr1vr
care about me on their own. I often think that678Please respect copyright.PENANAZjED22qrne
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that678Please respect copyright.PENANAFd49CH1Tr2
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.678Please respect copyright.PENANAMfsr5XyGEO
She often hurts me more than she improves my life678Please respect copyright.PENANA1ENwD0wLSq
but I’m too afraid to say anything because678Please respect copyright.PENANA3CeZvMIlxW
I need her. I need her to exist678Please respect copyright.PENANAYdiRr3Ml1q
in my existence, and I need her to678Please respect copyright.PENANAaukLKmQnQW
be by my side.678Please respect copyright.PENANAB1RNUGB2vX
But I’m tired.
I’m tired678Please respect copyright.PENANAKoPV1EITwr
of being tired678Please respect copyright.PENANAD1lsPFJsyC
in this tiring life.
