Up
Sleep, a distant memory after a wake
Suicide makes sense,
Death; Escape
Solitude is a scrape
On an empty plate
Syllables are sickle cells
In veins full of mace
I close my eyes.
As I see a new day.

It was pain before it was understanding, but I am grateful to be haunted by words and imagery as I attempt to sleep. It has become what I live for in a sense. I’m happy it spoke to u 🙏🏽.
*footnote: It starts with suicide and ends with closing my eyes when I’ve reached a new day to say living long enough to try again tomorrow is what makes the everything that precedes worth it. =)
