I’m tired.719Please respect copyright.PENANAOlCTjaX2e0
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by719Please respect copyright.PENANAbq4rDRorcz
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead719Please respect copyright.PENANAnjzoAnXdfS
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy719Please respect copyright.PENANAf8Gp35zgx7
to pick them up and set them back down.719Please respect copyright.PENANAemhe3KVyHz
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing719Please respect copyright.PENANAojR24YDZM3
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk719Please respect copyright.PENANA27QKxXrS8u
like a normal person, thank you.719Please respect copyright.PENANAjhlC1EsFCc
I try.719Please respect copyright.PENANADidV8E0xoS
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking719Please respect copyright.PENANAIw3u295Iwp
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground719Please respect copyright.PENANA5mPfBC0nKY
just barely making it from one place to another719Please respect copyright.PENANANhTQvNUhRn
without damage.
I’m tired.719Please respect copyright.PENANAdXgeg20GzE
Just this Wednesday I was driving home719Please respect copyright.PENANA7ArP8uldVq
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road719Please respect copyright.PENANAFoVyvez3WV
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and719Please respect copyright.PENANAjoAGYV1FiX
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me719Please respect copyright.PENANAfmURFOpdoZ
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken719Please respect copyright.PENANA4yxSXPHt58
for those I’m not sure how to help719Please respect copyright.PENANAyvrgSlB9Vs
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.719Please respect copyright.PENANApToK7abegK
And while I was driving down the highway719Please respect copyright.PENANAgqlxOMMh0M
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel719Please respect copyright.PENANAWfMkZ94CvT
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the719Please respect copyright.PENANAhDDyccfYjM
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to719Please respect copyright.PENANAyNag5XWSZl
collide with the wall, break through and destroy719Please respect copyright.PENANAu2WFd1i1eT
the other side.719Please respect copyright.PENANA1q8bSyhbvL
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right719Please respect copyright.PENANAoWza2UHMbD
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t719Please respect copyright.PENANAXuEw1DzK4X
harm anyone else in the process. But I719Please respect copyright.PENANABSkUIq6p98
didn’t do either, even though I719Please respect copyright.PENANAraZwRIV66T
got so scared for a minute719Please respect copyright.PENANADXiQQcLBYy
that I would.
I’m tired.719Please respect copyright.PENANAmabCYju54t
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar719Please respect copyright.PENANAzmS6LFXel7
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough719Please respect copyright.PENANA6XHMq9aEHo
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt719Please respect copyright.PENANAnqEQwguL3S
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten719Please respect copyright.PENANA3i6S31Z9rt
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife719Please respect copyright.PENANANTqe4qWTR6
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart719Please respect copyright.PENANAzaS1bTRCmh
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.719Please respect copyright.PENANAVacoKuGmzd
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to719Please respect copyright.PENANAe93O9UT31Q
draw blood, but it was the first time719Please respect copyright.PENANAO7PhTWaA05
I had allowed myself to719Please respect copyright.PENANAKyPBbD6OwM
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.719Please respect copyright.PENANAJlDc4jqRNJ
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never719Please respect copyright.PENANA0vGVV7Zxka
actually reach out and go through with it719Please respect copyright.PENANAdi8GCwtPal
I think because I’m afraid of not existing719Please respect copyright.PENANAh8id3oENAP
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I719Please respect copyright.PENANAjdOyMgZras
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure719Please respect copyright.PENANAlyWcx30EBs
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people719Please respect copyright.PENANApQugOwNA4s
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself719Please respect copyright.PENANA2WVhFhl1OL
and give up. I have thought about dying every day719Please respect copyright.PENANALBv5oRtuD8
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just719Please respect copyright.PENANAtJmO1Egwqa
go through with it.
I’m tired.719Please respect copyright.PENANA9U0FICd88U
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing719Please respect copyright.PENANAaX4IdxI4UO
for people to care about me when they should719Please respect copyright.PENANAXmH01XniEZ
care about me on their own. I often think that719Please respect copyright.PENANA9uMJmHeA4n
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that719Please respect copyright.PENANA9fewsdnrpF
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.719Please respect copyright.PENANAFRYXCI2uyg
She often hurts me more than she improves my life719Please respect copyright.PENANAsmTpZbmOsf
but I’m too afraid to say anything because719Please respect copyright.PENANAv4yrZz4BeB
I need her. I need her to exist719Please respect copyright.PENANAnxUeyFD5Fy
in my existence, and I need her to719Please respect copyright.PENANA3TF7fteq26
be by my side.719Please respect copyright.PENANAFt4OiZB6m4
But I’m tired.
I’m tired719Please respect copyright.PENANANy4dfrEWhg
of being tired719Please respect copyright.PENANATBoAtqcrZm
in this tiring life.
