I used to fantasize about suicide
Thought I'd save it for a rainy day
Now I wear a bracelet that says
Don't hesitate to resuscitate
I have a daughter I need to raise

My
Restless
Brain
Wants to go
In so many
Directions,
Mostly
S
O
U
T
H

Overthinking
Is burning bread
When you're standing
Directly in front of
The toaster

Imagine
Awaking every day
Without an alarm clock
Or a crying baby,
Oh, how I envy
The thought of it

I heard you were scheming a way
To reverse engineer your existence
That's a convoluted synonym for suicide,
Do you still dream in monochrome?
I think a little colour
Might liven the place up
Maybe paint an accent wall
Or purchase a houseplant
Something to ignore
When the episodes become seasonal
I've been hanging on for so long
I have callous on my callous
However, my grip remains tight
I hope you don't loosen yours

We are different branches on the same Tree
Although, our roots remain unseen
We share the same foliage
Endure the same breeze

Sometimes the sunlight hits me Brilliantly
While you are shrouded in shade
I do not celebrate these fleeting Moments
Because I know, it's just my time of the day

Tomorrow you'll shine
And I'll be in the shadows
In these moments in time, I will not Grieve
Because my love, my kin, my kind,
We are different branches on the same Tree
