#6 of 2021 Mental Health Crisis

I don't even know how to describe this one, but it's a CW for suicide for sure.

CW: Suicidal Imagery

----------------------------------------

I never knew what rest meant.  
I never know I was tired.  
I never knew past exhaustion,  
and through anxiety, so wired.

I never knew what rest meant.  
I never knew without hope.  
I never knew past the things I can't see,  
a future without a rope.

I never knew what rest meant.  
I never knew without blood.  
I never knew past the silence  
of a corpse now drowned in mud.

I never knew what rest meant.  
I never knew without hope.  
I couldn't see past my own death,  
a future without a rope.
