Don't make me leave my room today
I'm too scared to leave my room today
too frightened to bear the faces
too afraid of rampant judgment
too alone, because no one can understand
except maybe Anne- but she's dead
She went like I will
I know I will
I'll take my own life
there are no other options because
I'm too tired to turn over
too empty to cry
too nauseous to walk
too frail to work
too cold to move
too weak to die just yet
I barely shiver
My body rebels
and calls and yearns for peace
for respite
for death
I bend under the strain, the weight I feel
I'm too scared to leave my room today
Don't make me
