a while ago,
i think this was in summer of 2025
i had everything planned out
everything i wanted to do,
hangout my friends
call my sister
get my last laughs in
i had done everything beforehand
to let myself go
nothing too messy
drowning in my bathtub.
i have my own private bathroom
nobody would see me
i lit a candle i never got to use
was waiting for the perfect time
no better time than death i suppose
got my phone out and started writing my goodbye letter
even to people who, at the moment, i didn't even care much, nor did they care about me
i didnt wanna leave any loose ends
i sat in the tub a bit while it filled up
it was warm
nice
i never wanted to leave
i did have to at one point
got out to finish up the note
had a few people left
then i got a text
it was my friend
i have 0 recollection of this conversation
probably for the better
knowing us, it was probably something stupid
like a show we had in common
i got so caught up
by the time it was over
my mom started banging on the door
"its been 2 hours. what are you doing? get out now"
if i had gone through with it then
she wouldve torn the door down
so i washed my hair
and scrubbed myself clean
as clean as i could be
and i got out
i felt stupid
it shoul
i didnt even try
it shouldnt count
i changed into my pajamas
and went to bed
i'm glad i opened that text though
that conversation was worth it
