I’m tired.728Please respect copyright.PENANA3DQCS2djlQ
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by728Please respect copyright.PENANAm9tdwQk5B9
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead728Please respect copyright.PENANAaG97gGVIWJ
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy728Please respect copyright.PENANAu3326fOPwC
to pick them up and set them back down.728Please respect copyright.PENANAuyF1YzlxDK
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing728Please respect copyright.PENANA0AckuJFpa9
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk728Please respect copyright.PENANA3t4ZY2A8e9
like a normal person, thank you.728Please respect copyright.PENANAGwtM61alLo
I try.728Please respect copyright.PENANA90FSGmzAAs
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking728Please respect copyright.PENANAOFQh2lAuKe
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground728Please respect copyright.PENANAR7tUKh3WpN
just barely making it from one place to another728Please respect copyright.PENANAslv1WKIpRB
without damage.
I’m tired.728Please respect copyright.PENANASDUqGozJoG
Just this Wednesday I was driving home728Please respect copyright.PENANAxoQ2n5GzlE
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road728Please respect copyright.PENANAcnUtIsfu77
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and728Please respect copyright.PENANAmG2wYMh5qA
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me728Please respect copyright.PENANAM12CDof9WV
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken728Please respect copyright.PENANA3MtE8IZhIO
for those I’m not sure how to help728Please respect copyright.PENANACLa9zAe5yU
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.728Please respect copyright.PENANAeMpnEcEjta
And while I was driving down the highway728Please respect copyright.PENANADTMJ88sULw
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel728Please respect copyright.PENANAHT3erbFuC4
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the728Please respect copyright.PENANAS9BROWdAb1
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to728Please respect copyright.PENANAg9gPGVptMC
collide with the wall, break through and destroy728Please respect copyright.PENANATvWe2duKnV
the other side.728Please respect copyright.PENANAC64JBt3kDh
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right728Please respect copyright.PENANAgWKsMJTgvp
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t728Please respect copyright.PENANAkHX7XmRDW8
harm anyone else in the process. But I728Please respect copyright.PENANAbmcytGQ5ve
didn’t do either, even though I728Please respect copyright.PENANAm4AELf41un
got so scared for a minute728Please respect copyright.PENANA0VrvaCECpL
that I would.
I’m tired.728Please respect copyright.PENANAbtlAesFBh8
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar728Please respect copyright.PENANAamtUqXjrST
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough728Please respect copyright.PENANAb5gaCLLMDW
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt728Please respect copyright.PENANA67i3gjQOC3
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten728Please respect copyright.PENANA0ePvfE392A
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife728Please respect copyright.PENANAPveovdChiG
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart728Please respect copyright.PENANAhBI8h6ndvW
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.728Please respect copyright.PENANAiLczpw8I4p
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to728Please respect copyright.PENANAMHY4a1aYza
draw blood, but it was the first time728Please respect copyright.PENANA9DOEfr1q4a
I had allowed myself to728Please respect copyright.PENANAp57M8oab7b
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.728Please respect copyright.PENANAH1oXWHKFSD
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never728Please respect copyright.PENANAzkQ6OeJ6QM
actually reach out and go through with it728Please respect copyright.PENANAPeWqluea6F
I think because I’m afraid of not existing728Please respect copyright.PENANAI2seQlKeQG
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I728Please respect copyright.PENANAkGNu7PfYWS
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure728Please respect copyright.PENANA2xTk5MmDkX
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people728Please respect copyright.PENANAuWFSNB50hn
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself728Please respect copyright.PENANA35N6AHVUMy
and give up. I have thought about dying every day728Please respect copyright.PENANAG0KOHL7aI5
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just728Please respect copyright.PENANAGvivdA7w0H
go through with it.
I’m tired.728Please respect copyright.PENANAQDmL61NcVK
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing728Please respect copyright.PENANA7xaARMBN3O
for people to care about me when they should728Please respect copyright.PENANAafVkTQ6ccg
care about me on their own. I often think that728Please respect copyright.PENANAjypb4PIUyX
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that728Please respect copyright.PENANAh6XHz9Xse3
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.728Please respect copyright.PENANAoGENUy6EmV
She often hurts me more than she improves my life728Please respect copyright.PENANAN9mz3JwVaV
but I’m too afraid to say anything because728Please respect copyright.PENANAcWMukkhe2Z
I need her. I need her to exist728Please respect copyright.PENANAtbQ3uouguK
in my existence, and I need her to728Please respect copyright.PENANAzSvjNbjosq
be by my side.728Please respect copyright.PENANAAqnqnta99h
But I’m tired.
I’m tired728Please respect copyright.PENANAMDzQLeOpPY
of being tired728Please respect copyright.PENANANfQjaCSoVk
in this tiring life.
