“I want this to end”. How many times have I thought that “ about a relationship, a set of classes I’m taking ” a path my life is taking?
“I want this to end” How many times have I longed to shout those words, to hear the reply “ok then”, and not feel the ground shake under my feet.
Five simple words “. Why can’t I say them ? They’re not long, they’re not difficult, they’re not tongue twisting. So why do I feel that I can’t twist my tongue around them ” that if I do someone will tear it out or worse still I’ll be tearing the heart out my world?
“I want this to end”, so that I can begin. Because really, I don’t want this to end — I just want to know that I could, if I wanted to. To end it and myself continue so that I know I’m not doing it merely to survive.
But that’s the power of those words. I never think them when I can. Always when I can’t.
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
