early to bed, early to put a bullet in my head by Kendra Canfield

Feb 2013

early to bed, early to put a bullet in my head

I woke up at 5 am
couldn't fall back asleep

I keep thinking I wish
I woke up
before the sun
I could do so many things

I like my time alone.

but I did nothing.
I got the time I wanted
and I ------- threw it away
like my -------- life
you know the one I
didn't want
the one that everyone else
wanted for me
the one that everyone
else wants.

I'm a pathological pushover.

I wish I had wasted my time better.

secretly, I want to be a morning person.
and I would never shoot myself in the head, what a boring way to die. I'd rather not at all.
