Had a pretty awful day. Took me right back to that place I thought I'd crawled out of. I'm not panicking ... it's just a minor setback. I know that tomorrow will be better.

Inspired by "If I die tomorrow", by Livelonginspired, though with a slightly different undertone. Cross-posted.

"If I die tomorrow"
doesn't apply to me
because I died a long time ago
longer ago than I can recall
so, leaving is all that's left

If I leave tomorrow
it will be simply for the best
I will know not of my past
, not of people who hated me
, nor of the many who just didn't care

If I leave tomorrow
no one will really know
for no one knows I'm here now
so why would it matter where I go
replacing no one with nothingness

If I leave tomorrow
not a grain of dust will stir
the forest where I lay, one last time
will, forever, continue in its serenity
blissfully ignorant of what once was

If I leave tomorrow
I will leave knowing not what love is
or could have been, but that is okay
because I will discover what calm is
and with that, I will make do

If I leave tomorrow
will I go to hell ?
what a silly thought that is !
because that's a place I should know well
and know I'm leaving behind

Hi lilodian, sorry you've had such a hard day
And yes, tomorrow's another day.
Just remember you're tough, nothing's going to hold you down for that long!!!
And you have got a whole load of coping skills not that far away, if you're struggling to find them though.......or if you want to share what you've been/what you're going through........straight back to us, OK??!! We're here for you!!!

Thanks, dear Yes, people at work were just being colossal assholes yesterday.

Today is a very different day Thanks for caring, as always !

Hi , you're welcome!! And thanks for the up-date, really glad things are better
Hope you can knock those people into line if they're being assholes another day, wishing you good luck!!
Otherwise maybe just do/say what you can to get what you think across and if it doesn't work....well at least you've tried......maybe they're having a "bad day".......maybe they're not understanding......but whatever the reason they are not going to be worth you feeling that badly.
You'd already one up on them anyway (!!), they'd be being assholes, you wouldn't be!!
So........deep breathes.........counting to ten and backwards.........time out........whatever it takes to rise above it. You can do it!!
Especially with us here to back you up/give you support if you need it
