I killed myself pretty recently. It wasn't like all the other times. This time was more embracing. More comfortable. More needed. I managed to shed my old mold before it could cause me any further pain. It feels like the first breathe of hot desert air after being buried beneath the sand. It feels like the cool, salty rush of sea water hitting your eyes after free falling for an unknown amount of time. It feels like the shaky release of heavy chains from my flesh stripped ankles and wrists It hurts It hurts so ******* bad The freedom The release The memories The new possibilities And the old, dead ones The fear The anger And as I stand in the road, waiting for these emotions to pass And realize I am the endless fork in the endless road and the sole nomad walking it
