Inspiration:

Honestly very worried about failing my history exam tomorrow so I'm just giving up because I don't have the motivation anymore - I'm writing this to at least get some of the weight off my chest
-

○ poem ●

Please.

Please. I didn't mean this.

I always want to be as good as everyone else -

They shine, they are bright, they are exemplary.

But I

I am not exemplary.

I am ruined

I cannot meet expectations as much

as others do.

But it crushes me because the

weight of this

world

Is for us to all do well.

I can't do it.

I think, I try, I push myself harder

I have tried to tell myself

That I

I can succeed.

I will survive.

But no

These are just lies

And I am nothing more than useless.

I have to watch everyone excel

While my psyche blocks out my train of thought

I should be asleep. It's late.

I've got to write, I've got to keep running.

"Why do you write like you're running out of time?", they said,

And I say,

"Because I am."

Everyone is.

But I still feel like

My sandclock in particular

Is flowing faster than anyone else's.

My impending doom is reaching out

for me

waiting to ensnare me in its depths.

I honestly can't wait.

Because then I won't have to face all of this.

It's burning, crashing waves

It's washing over me, it's torturing me

I'm reaching out towards the surface, my hand

splashes, skims the blue line

I gasp for air.

I'm screaming.

I'm screaming.

I'm screaming.

Can anyone hear me?

Help.

I'm trying to survive. I'm struggling to survive.

Save me, please.

I can't, I'm trying, it's too strong.

The air is draining out of my lungs

WELL, I'M SORRY I CAN'T MATCH UP TO YOUR STANDARDS, WORLD.

I'm losing the strength in my arms, my legs, my breath is leaving, it's gone

I'm helpless, please

Please

I need someone there

Is there anyone who will hear my cry?

Please

I'm not enough for this world, I'm not needed, I know

But please

just this once

give me a chance

Take my hand

PLEASE

THEY'RE LATCHING ONTO ME

I'M LOSING ALL HOPE IN MY LEGS

THEY'RE PULLING ME DOWN UNDER

DEEP BLUE ABYSS

PLEASE, BEFORE IT'S TOO

LATE

PLEASE

I CAN'T -

save me.

Please.
