Trigger Warning.

by ourskyoursea

They say that suicide survivors are usually relieved when they don't succeed their attempt. Some are even happy. I am not one of those survivors. I don't like having to explain why I have such deep scars on my wrist; Or apologize when I slur and stumble over my words when I'm sober because all of the pills that I overdosed on effected my brain. I don't like having to live with the realization that I'm even a failure at killing myself. I have to live not seeing a future. When people ask me where I see myself in ten years, I have to lie. I make up some stupid, cliché response like "married with kids." or "super rich with my shit together." When really I'm actually thinking to myself, "I don't see myself anywhere in ten years because I plan to be dead before then." I may of made it 18, and to 21, and to 23 but I will be damned if I make it 30. There is no future for me.
