A week ago, I was in my room decorating my tomb.

36 suicide notes, plastered in my brain. And on my walls.

36 times I've had a scalpel to my neck, praying I'd end it before my mom came into my room to check.

36 times I've hesitated with only a nic,

36 times I've forced my hand away from my neck to give it another chance to click.

36 times I prayed, I'd find him.

36 times I gave life one more chance.

36 attempts and thoughts later,

1 boy made life matter.
