Poetry in Motion

Voices in my head keep talking about how you bet on my suicide.

Among other things (girl on the train)

Voices keep talking about the blogs where I said “I want to die” but kind of gloss over the fact that I say right after “and come back to life like a Phoenix.”

Maybe this is where the “burning my house down” idea came from as well.

I don’t recall any blog I wrote on either of my xanga where I wanted a permanent death.

Maybe I did, but it was all hyperbole.

I’m just tired in those moments.

Exhausted.

Burnt out.

Spent.

Voices (and the people in my waking life) recognize that it’s a lot of work to do what I’m doing.

Few, (albeit I don’t know how many) actually get the gusto to even try.

We persevere here on this side of the planet.

I’ve been saying this a lot recently,

“I try.”
