The psych said, “sounds unbearably intense inside you.”

The psych said, “sounds unbearably intense inside you.”

Like it was breaking news, and not my entire life.

Like it was breaking news, and not my entire life.

The unbearably intense psych sounds like breaking news.

And inside you said it was not my entire life.

Do you have plans to harm yourself?

Do you have plans to harm yourself?

Think of those who will miss you.

Think of those who will miss you.

Think of those who have plans to miss you.

You will do yourself harm.

Create a safety plan and promise to do.

Create a safety plan and promise to do.

List the names of friends to call in a crisis.

List the names of friends to call in a crisis.

Plan and promise to create a list of friends.

In a crisis, do the names call to safety?

Inside you said my friends' names do you harm.

In a crisis, do not create a list of plans.

Think of and plan to call the intense psych.

Safety sounds like it was unbearably breaking news.

Promise those who have to miss you.

And will yourself to the entire life.

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
