I’m tired.722Please respect copyright.PENANAeNKdgF243p
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by722Please respect copyright.PENANAj2Vxbz9Jf4
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead722Please respect copyright.PENANAHYTO3um4w9
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy722Please respect copyright.PENANAsCfkv5gGdX
to pick them up and set them back down.722Please respect copyright.PENANAwXkijHV0KV
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing722Please respect copyright.PENANAGgaa6YLNN4
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk722Please respect copyright.PENANA7zyffpA2OW
like a normal person, thank you.722Please respect copyright.PENANAUbaT4XN0Gq
I try.722Please respect copyright.PENANA5gp6jeXfgf
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking722Please respect copyright.PENANACFNoVOjlTg
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground722Please respect copyright.PENANADVkBy2Vic2
just barely making it from one place to another722Please respect copyright.PENANAZUZX2ylBDG
without damage.
I’m tired.722Please respect copyright.PENANALsWUk7Nrml
Just this Wednesday I was driving home722Please respect copyright.PENANALArGVPENXe
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road722Please respect copyright.PENANAjczOVVRkmw
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and722Please respect copyright.PENANAdLadYSJW4x
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me722Please respect copyright.PENANAWDemFeAg78
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken722Please respect copyright.PENANA49ZgRiOqCm
for those I’m not sure how to help722Please respect copyright.PENANAZzLpm1ULy3
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.722Please respect copyright.PENANAhATQ4X9nQL
And while I was driving down the highway722Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Whd40MN2
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel722Please respect copyright.PENANAy1TuVHKwNE
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the722Please respect copyright.PENANAYfu5NZMO2k
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to722Please respect copyright.PENANAVT7BzjTDGE
collide with the wall, break through and destroy722Please respect copyright.PENANAiA10UkC4u6
the other side.722Please respect copyright.PENANAZwZol8shok
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right722Please respect copyright.PENANAfl4VEe77T1
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t722Please respect copyright.PENANALBEvOdUUDN
harm anyone else in the process. But I722Please respect copyright.PENANAk5AxArjdB7
didn’t do either, even though I722Please respect copyright.PENANACDmQQi98RJ
got so scared for a minute722Please respect copyright.PENANAgr1wnzz4dc
that I would.
I’m tired.722Please respect copyright.PENANAp6nj5FUCL6
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar722Please respect copyright.PENANAhwyg1GggJC
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough722Please respect copyright.PENANAP0eB9wrqtd
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt722Please respect copyright.PENANAkaFgitnULT
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten722Please respect copyright.PENANAFb16Zdm6MC
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife722Please respect copyright.PENANAVs1dOGqRW5
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart722Please respect copyright.PENANAR1ZKWzmtG5
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.722Please respect copyright.PENANAYaBoZMoRFi
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to722Please respect copyright.PENANAVYsinGPXbE
draw blood, but it was the first time722Please respect copyright.PENANASlRiejiufj
I had allowed myself to722Please respect copyright.PENANATzYrXLFcbV
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.722Please respect copyright.PENANAE3W3nzKdNX
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never722Please respect copyright.PENANAGTP1N69Xue
actually reach out and go through with it722Please respect copyright.PENANAR4Qy2R2nqr
I think because I’m afraid of not existing722Please respect copyright.PENANAnHeblX0ED6
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I722Please respect copyright.PENANAEjcdLapvFZ
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure722Please respect copyright.PENANA3bGidRNc48
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people722Please respect copyright.PENANAP66KiKRb07
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself722Please respect copyright.PENANAsS5J6Tgr7u
and give up. I have thought about dying every day722Please respect copyright.PENANA1yuMxhIsgo
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just722Please respect copyright.PENANAz0piwlZ4en
go through with it.
I’m tired.722Please respect copyright.PENANASZWZdhwzlN
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing722Please respect copyright.PENANA8lAvFF7kQS
for people to care about me when they should722Please respect copyright.PENANAmi5XFxLKPv
care about me on their own. I often think that722Please respect copyright.PENANAfDEjP1xq4x
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that722Please respect copyright.PENANAIX8QiFmuDm
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.722Please respect copyright.PENANAcO6vHTdkfW
She often hurts me more than she improves my life722Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2Qcggirt6
but I’m too afraid to say anything because722Please respect copyright.PENANAzdRvxg7fGk
I need her. I need her to exist722Please respect copyright.PENANA01aRQANwjq
in my existence, and I need her to722Please respect copyright.PENANACMadix51Bx
be by my side.722Please respect copyright.PENANALMQq9gTThl
But I’m tired.
I’m tired722Please respect copyright.PENANAWRJldDmYUj
of being tired722Please respect copyright.PENANAZmuprjgvra
in this tiring life.
