The Killing of Me

It was a long time ago.

Sometimes I can recall every second, sometimes I think I’m painting over the truth. Sometimes I stare in a mirror and wonder how I could be so stupid.

I can go day to day and not remember. I don’t always have to be drunk or high. Then it comes in on me and I call it ‘the day I killed myself’.

Oh the body is here, untouched. And there’s no hint of suicide. Not the kind you think. What I killed was my future, everything I loved, and all that remains of the Eve Samuels is the name, the job, even the apartment.

But I can tell you the exact minute I killed myself. I killed that Evie who could have been Mrs. Kelly Grey.

I can try to dress it in laudable ribbons and bells, cast myself as altruistic and worthy of praise,which in one sense, in the black and white sense, is true.

But in another, no.

  1. Sometimes we have to ”kill ourselves” in order to see the reborn and expand! The changes are always good, but the important is to believe, never give up and believe in yourself!
