IF i could..

"I have been wanting to die, for as long as I can remember being alive"

By Jiuliana with a GPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

If I could, I would.

& It’s not sad, & it’s not a waste- but a decision

If I could, I would leave this world behind me as a fever dream

embark on a new transition into nothingness

a vast and empty feeling that’s been lingering within me for decades.

Search within yourself, they say

Precisely. I am seeking to delve deeper into the nothing, into the grey ambivalence of creation

If I could leave the hearts behind of the ones I love , I would

If the guilt didn’t eat me away inside, I would leave

I have been wanting to die, for as long as I can remember being alive.
