Danger zone

Numb.
Paralyzed.
My state of being your unaware of.
Don't know where to turn.
Knife.
Slit my wrist 
It makes it all better.
Pop a few advils. 
Deep dark sleep. 
Take a bath hoping to drown.
Suicide attempt. 
Did work out. 
I'm still here. 
Doing for her. 
She had cancer she's gone now.
I can tell people to pick themselves up
but I can't quite do that myself.
Idiotic. 
Foolish...
Life took me by the neck and
threw me against every wall. 
Now I'm damaged
