It’s a Beautiful Day

I don’t remember what the world looked like before this darkness settled over me. It has made its home inside my head and I cannot evict it.

It is a gorgeous day.  My children are here… yet all I have done is  watch the clock to take them to their father’s so I can consider my options.

I will once again open up my bottle of pills… I will count them. I will calculate how many it takes… then I will contemplate taking them.

It’s barely 1 pm and I am getting sleepy. I know this is my brain’s way of shutting me down when I am about to do something drastic.

The problem is it will happen again.

… and again, and again… until one day it will finally end.

I am exhausted.
