Chance.
April 10, 2021
Sometimes, I like to not take my meds.
It's a sort of punishment,
Ritualistic self sacrificing-
Because i’m too ashamed to kill myself.
Sometimes I like to climb on my roof,
Stand at the very edge and just,
Think about falling off,
Not jumping off- falling.
Like rolling the dice-
On whether to play another round of russian roulette.
Sometimes I stay up all night just to feel like sh*t,
Because it’s better than facing the anxiety of sleeping.
And an easier delierent than benadryl-
Good thing the only withdrawal symptoms are fatigue.
Sometimes,
I give life a chance.
Every single time I regret it

Going back and reading my old(ish) poetry I'm reminded of how far I've come since that time, The struggle isn't real y'all, it's just an excuse for you to give up.
Don't give up out of spite, don't let your dumb brain tell you to give up your brillant mind.
