I have failed myself
by following a failure
it all looked copacetic
til the chains came off
I hurt myself and I want to die
I stay alive
for the woman who brought me life.
But every waking moment waits
for that last day
no more claims
My eyes just close and I never wake.

Failed but not a failure.. I considered myself a failure for the inability to take my own life, but perhaps I've been successful at one thing, failing. And maybe with those failures we can build something more--a perspective nobody else has. Beautiful write
