Quietly Suffocating

My best friend's ex-husband left off their daughter with her after a long weekend spent at his place. As he walked in the door he thrusted a sealed tupperware container at his ex-wife, and grumbled:

"I don't know what the fuck is wrong with these fish."


People in my life keep asking what is wrong with me

And I won't answer

Because my problems are as obvious as the fish rapidly dieing in the oxygen-deprived environment of a tupperware container.

I spend my days:

Gasping for breath
Begging and pleading for some kind soul to come to me...
And carefully remove that lid.
But still I sit here.

ALONE

IN QUIET DESPERATION

SUFFOCATING.

    Suffocating... I know what this tastes like. I know what this smells like. I know what it sounds like, looks like, & feels like... It hurts.

    We all need a little help in this world from time to time; don't be afraid to ask for it.
