Bedtime Story

Wide awake listening to the sounds of a clock
tick
tock
tick
tock
Blurry eyes open watching the red
drip
drop
drip
drop
Pooling underneath my arm
I'm feeling kind of funny
My head is spacing out
Maybe it is time for me to lie down
Humming the tune to my favorite song
I forget the words
Can anyone help me?


I wrote this about one of the darkest times in my life. If you're experiencing one of those and want to hurt or kill yourself, please get help. You are not alone. Together, we MUST talk openly about mental health. Doing so could save lives, maybe even our own.
