Sarah Kane 4.48 Psychosis

Take an overdose slash my wrists then hang myself

All those things together

It couldn't possibly be misconstrued as a cry for help

It wouldn't work

Yes it would

It wouldn't work You'd start to feel sleepy from the overdose and wouldn't have the energy to cut your wrists

I'd be standing on a chair with a noose around my neck

If you were alone do you think you might harm yourself

I'm scared i might

Could that be protective

Yes It's fear that keeps me away from the train tracks
I just hope to god that death is the fucking end I feel like i'm eighty years old I'm tired of life and my mind wants to die

That's a metaphor not reality

It's a simile

That's not reality

It's not a metaphor it's a simile but even if it were the defining feature of a metaphor is that it's real

You are not eighty years old Are you Are you Or are you

Do you despise all unhappy people or is it me specifically

I don't despise you It's not your fault You're ill

I don't think so

No

No I'm depressed Depression is anger It's what you did who was there and who you're blaming

And who are you blaming

Myself
