tw: mention of suicide attempt, pills.

i wasn't supposed to make it this far. 
the calendar flipped against my will, 
dragging me through another cycle of hours 
that bleed together like ink spilled 
on a letter i never meant to write.

i wasn't supposed to make it here 
this wasn't part of the plan, 
if there even was a plan. 
the days are a smear, 
grey on grey on grey, 
and i can't remember the last time i felt clean. 
weeks in the same clothes, 
weeks without washing my hair— 
just a shell wearing a body, 
too weak to carry even itself. 

i tried to leave two nights ago. 
eighteen pills and a whisper of goodbyes— 
i love you, i love you, i love you,
but not enough to stay. 
it should've been the end. 
but instead, i woke up. 
still here, 
still unwanted, 
still being dragged into another year 
i never asked for. 

2025 looms like a punishment, 
not a gift. 
the future is a ghost, 
unreal, 
uncaring, 
and i don't want it. 
i don't want it. 

all i feel is the weight of survival— 
a thing i never asked for, 
a thing i don't know what to do with. 
this year already feels like forever, 
and i am so tired of forever.
