Not Dead Yet

Am I starting to lose my mind?

I hug the mirror

And lay my face against its cold surface 

With my arms around it 

I felt peaceful and comforted

 

I may be going crazy

I held the paracetamol tablets in my hand

And I asked the person in the mirror

\"Are you really going to do it?\"

She answered, \"There is enough there but it will be gradual and painful.\"

\"What if it fails?\"

\"Why are you talking to me? I am you and you are me.\"

 

And so tonight was not the day I am leaving

But perhaps the closest 

Yet it is not worth it 

I just need to hold on a little longer

I hid the tablets away

And took the scissors from my bag out 

Maybe I can find a bit of comfort that way 

 

This encounter reminded me of that time 

I opened my window blinds

And my window 

It is 13 storeys high

I would be gone right? 

I was breathing heavily 

And truly afraid that I wanted to do it 

But the keys to the grills were not there

My dad had taken them away 

I thought to myself...

He knows
