I’m tired.716Please respect copyright.PENANATgezeltbic
If I’m honest, the days keep dragging by716Please respect copyright.PENANA0jp74oicVk
and my feet are sliding across the floor instead716Please respect copyright.PENANAQt4PBRnqx3
of lifting with each step because I can’t find the energy716Please respect copyright.PENANAtfuxvjKfal
to pick them up and set them back down.716Please respect copyright.PENANAS9tsakpO9T
Some people turn and ask me to stop scuffing716Please respect copyright.PENANAwqjB5pjwED
my feet on the floor, please lift them up and walk716Please respect copyright.PENANAhLzXBIvmJq
like a normal person, thank you.716Please respect copyright.PENANAFSes8vDtXt
I try.716Please respect copyright.PENANAXu7W8gAUv6
I try everyday to lift myself up and keep walking716Please respect copyright.PENANAe6i9mJL6MJ
but like my feet, I am scuffing across the ground716Please respect copyright.PENANAkrbfS6ZhNG
just barely making it from one place to another716Please respect copyright.PENANATGxjxyopZB
without damage.
I’m tired.716Please respect copyright.PENANApTjZSEVzf2
Just this Wednesday I was driving home716Please respect copyright.PENANARV0aC1T09Q
on the highway, 480 West from Brookpark Road716Please respect copyright.PENANARX97MktVHG
where the RTA takes me to Cleveland for classes, and716Please respect copyright.PENANAuMb0IT0NKu
during the drive, I couldn’t focus on the road before me716Please respect copyright.PENANAxWIN52RRJp
because the news that Trump had won left me shaken716Please respect copyright.PENANAnZP9yVFWAS
for those I’m not sure how to help716Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ5HdzxZZW
when I’ve been given a privilege I didn’t ask for.716Please respect copyright.PENANAE1HHKjhYSm
And while I was driving down the highway716Please respect copyright.PENANAnyxJO4us2m
I contemplated the notion of jerking the wheel716Please respect copyright.PENANAGMANWhQvUv
to the left and letting my car hit the divide between the716Please respect copyright.PENANAfAc7Qd6iSY
highway East and the highway West; allow myself to716Please respect copyright.PENANAva1dvTIQtj
collide with the wall, break through and destroy716Please respect copyright.PENANA3tBU8XRDKV
the other side.716Please respect copyright.PENANAjEpMc499i7
Then, I contemplated jerking the wheel to the right716Please respect copyright.PENANA67DdeHvLz1
into the ditch along the grass so I wouldn’t716Please respect copyright.PENANAM2gEKe70AA
harm anyone else in the process. But I716Please respect copyright.PENANAgiE7EtPso4
didn’t do either, even though I716Please respect copyright.PENANAzzY6Lrz8MP
got so scared for a minute716Please respect copyright.PENANAxk6bZXpqTY
that I would.
I’m tired.716Please respect copyright.PENANAcePoG6P8sH
Last year on August 22nd, my birthday, I had a similar716Please respect copyright.PENANAqpGhvlxKdD
reaction to suicidal thoughts. I had a rough716Please respect copyright.PENANAcWQlNmao95
birthday; I worked, I was lonely, I felt716Please respect copyright.PENANARexcopMgJC
pathetic, worthless, uncared for and forgotten716Please respect copyright.PENANAbg79tla6Cu
so I took the sharpest and largest kitchen knife716Please respect copyright.PENANAPrT8OeQTym
and I pressed the tip of it to my chest, above my heart716Please respect copyright.PENANAGXTIFzVWqD
and sobbed until I couldn’t sob anymore.716Please respect copyright.PENANASBy5XcUmno
I did not press the sharp edge deep enough to716Please respect copyright.PENANApwQGj71VAM
draw blood, but it was the first time716Please respect copyright.PENANASeZwwODfzz
I had allowed myself to716Please respect copyright.PENANAP77x9ZcQCo
get so close to the temptation.
I’m tired.716Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5TTOLJ18s
I say that I want to die a lot, even though I never716Please respect copyright.PENANASMmQYJuiGL
actually reach out and go through with it716Please respect copyright.PENANAZKZ60eznK3
I think because I’m afraid of not existing716Please respect copyright.PENANAvYva6L7Knp
just as I’m afraid of existing. And lately I716Please respect copyright.PENANAnnoxx06Y3A
have people who reach out to me when I’m not sure716Please respect copyright.PENANA6hABZWzsN0
how to reach out to them, and it’s sweet to have people716Please respect copyright.PENANAPHkGIJD6Px
support me, but I go right back to wanting to isolate myself716Please respect copyright.PENANAQlw9susnnj
and give up. I have thought about dying every day716Please respect copyright.PENANAMFfG0nmT14
for the last few weeks and I wish I could just716Please respect copyright.PENANAc28NwbiXj6
go through with it.
I’m tired.716Please respect copyright.PENANAnoBE8GZKSs
I’m so tired of being forgotten, of arguing716Please respect copyright.PENANA5SkjxHDkqq
for people to care about me when they should716Please respect copyright.PENANAlXOW94rAyE
care about me on their own. I often think that716Please respect copyright.PENANAxh5MrtOCdP
I should just stop putting in such an effort for those that716Please respect copyright.PENANAc3gqdMDUYt
do not consider me, but I can’t seem to stop caring.716Please respect copyright.PENANA4yGOZu13k2
She often hurts me more than she improves my life716Please respect copyright.PENANAu2Kesk1Es2
but I’m too afraid to say anything because716Please respect copyright.PENANA6nCm7sPw1J
I need her. I need her to exist716Please respect copyright.PENANAFEFEy0tXaz
in my existence, and I need her to716Please respect copyright.PENANA8z4KQ4oF35
be by my side.716Please respect copyright.PENANAAd4syzvwiv
But I’m tired.
I’m tired716Please respect copyright.PENANA1QyY3sboIq
of being tired716Please respect copyright.PENANAIlRQclhK3N
in this tiring life.
