and for a week i was fine and then suddenly i wanted to die.


you're not here.

why aren't you here?

you said you would come but you're not here.


i think i need to leave

to find some inner peace

i think it's getting bad again


i can't find her number

the number on the card she gave me

before telling me to have a good day

and call her if i need to

i can't find the card

it's not in any of these drawers


i'm alone.


that's alright.

i've done this before

i've been through hell and i've survived

i am alive 

i am alive and that is all that matters

i refuse to die.


is it my time?

it doesn't make sense for me to keep living

when being alive feels just the same

as being dead

i'm in my head

i'm in my bed

i should be dead

why am i not dead

how am i supposed to live

with the way my brain is

how am i supposed to get better,

and stop hiding behind these letters,

if getting better

didn't work

the first time i tried.

how am i supposed to survive?
