staring into the pill bottle she contemplated how easy it'd be
just swallow them all
just say good bye to it all
then the pills rested in her hand
she stared at them, the pills that keep her alive could easily end it all
but then the voice spoke, urged her to put them away
she thought about her mother, what would her mother do without her
she thought about her sister, how would her sister explain to her children where their favorite aunt was
she thought about her best friend, how guilty and upset would her death make her best friend
she thought about the people she's given her life to, the people she's lived for
the pills slid back into the bottle
i'm ok, she thought, not today
she tightened the lid and greeted the day
sometimes, when life seems unbearable, you just gotta live one day at a time to keep from being overwhelmed. a sentiment i'm lucky to have and wouldn't be here with out

ReplyThat's dark. Also not something anybody should contemplate. I know a girls dad who overdosed on pills he got up tried to vomit but couldn't so he passed away. Not an ideal way to go. It was and is really sad. I'm glad you're trying to live one day at a time. Just keep going.
ReplyGood Girl! The thing about life is - you never know what's just around the corner, do you? When my days are darkest, I repeat over and over to myself - that tomorrow could be the day that brings joy! Then I try to distract myself. Learn a new dance from YouTube, watch standup comedy, plan a trip somewhere I've never been - whether I actually go or not. I'm so glad you thought about how your absence would make those who love you feel! The thing about death is - we know it's long dark nothingness. As long as you're alive, you have a shot at the stars. Hang in there!
