happy my mother said I could be anything I wanted but I chose to live monday
happy the days I don’t want to kill myself are extraordinary tuesday
happy walking home for a moment you almost believe you could start again and an intense love rushes to your heart and hope it’s unendurable unendurable wednesday
happy the thing is to love life to love it even when you have no stomach for it thursday
happy for years I have been on duty in this my body and this its mind and no one has told me when relief might arrive but I think it will come all at once by the hundreds friday
happy sometimes I really believe it that I am going to save my life a little saturday
happy sit down inhale exhale the gun will wait the lake will wait the tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait will wait a week will wait through april you do not have to die this certain day sunday
