Longing

I wish I had the courage to jump

To fall through the air

And shatter my skull on the concrete below

Then get up and disappear into the darkness.

I pray and hope you never find that courage. How about walking into the light? Life is full of struggles, take them head on!
Be brave, Sugabelly, be brave!

Sugabelly…please be brave. I will go with HoneyDame’s comment…the world is not easy, it is unkind and frustrating…but you must never give up and give the world a chance to laugh at your weakness.

You will never ever ever have that courage Sugabelly. Look on the bright side, it can only and will only get better!

Me too. I’ve chickened out at the last minute tho. I’m TufaThanNigerianHair on YT. I wish we could hang out together. I feel like I’ve been living 5000 years. The “dying” part I think would be the worst, but the death part would be wonderful. Out of this body and out of this world.
