Last night,
I wanted to call you
to ask you to make me laugh
cause I couldn't remember how to.
Instead
I cried until I fell asleep.
This morning,
I wanted to call you
to see if you could
give me a reason
to
stay awake
to
stay alive.
Instead,
I went back to sleep
in hopes that
maybe someone would care enough
to wake me back up.
No one did.
Instead,
I forced myself up
and told myself I would enjoy today.
At least I tried.
