No one can really describe what it is like.
It is something that takes over.
It is moments that some people say rationality goes out the window.
For a moment I allowed my mind to take the trip.
To think of breaking a universal rule.
I thought I could end it all.
The nightmares, that person stalking me, my family, my friends.
The maligning of untruths, burdens, and me over damage control I should not have to do.
For a moment I took a step into homicidal ideation.
I thought I’m an expert firer, mixed race with dark skin.
The army taught me to always complete a mission, so I could pick a night, park a few blocks away, wear dark clothes, lay in the prone and handle the situations.
I thought in doing so I’d take the step from homicidal ideation to suicide and no one would even have to know.
