to live without wanting to die

 

im so very sad

and i want to tell someone



i want so badly to just say it



just admit it

out loud

plainly

to an audience

tell them

that sometimes



i want to die



i want to take 30 aspirin

i want to overdose on my antidepressants

i want to drown in the pool

i want to slash open my wrists and bleed

i want to start the car in the garage

and breathe in until i dont anymore



but more than all of this

more than anything



i want to live



i just want to live

without wanting to die
