A Cruel Joke

I sit here on the bathroom floor


Pathetic


A bottle of pills, a knife and a rope planning to end it one way or another


I screw open the pill bottle to reveal there’s one pill left, of course not enough to kill me


I grab the rope and stand up before making the realization that I have no where to hang it


I try the knife and it’s just my luck that it falls off the counter beside me and it breaks


It fucking breaks


I’ve done everything to try to end it


A knife, a building ledge, pills, drowning if you think of it I’ve tried it


I bite the hand that feeds me, so maybe it’ll let me starve but I fear the hand that feeds me has the thickest plot armour known to man


Maybe I’m meant to live, but I really don’t want to I guess I’ll just have to try living for once and hope everything gets better
