I am told every day by my 83 year old grandfather to Cheer up, smile, no one wants to see you looking like that And every time, I smile weakly, look him in the eye and despondently reply Oh, sorry. Didn't sleep well
And I didn't. I was too busy thinking how nice it might be just to drift into this sleep and not awake. And then at 4am drifting off... hoping.
Disappointed, it's 7 am. The sun is shining, I know I should be grateful to be alive. But I'm not. I'm just disappointed to be held accountable for myself every morning, and not have the guts to do anything about it.
