EMBARRASSING DIARY ENTRIES - 18/19.11
If today I die purposefully,
just know it wasn’t me.
All these voices in my head,
they keep me up.
At night I barely sleep.
Bad enough
I haven’t said,
all these voices in my head
are driving me to do, impulsively,
what i think you would dread.
If tomorrow came a little faster,
maybe i would stay.
If it’s today any longer,
I am very afraid.
The worst.
Don’t say a word.
Every night before i sleep,
I think of life and how it could be
if I were to follow through
with this choice
that haunts me.
It doesn’t seem so bad
I hope a day comes where the idea of that,
of finally falling through
seems as bad to me,
as it probably does to you.
