Crush

I’m sitting here in nervous anticipation. Will I do it today? A melting pot of 
emotions: some good, some bad. Will I work up the courage? I guess we’ll wait 
and see. (I guess it’s all up to me.) The outcomes are running through my head 
as I’m laying here in bed. Yes. No. Maybe. I just don’t know, only time can tell. 
Lingering doubts in my mind are briefly washed away with small glimpses of 
hope. Please don’t let me down. It’s happened so many times before. Please 
don’t let me down, I can’t take being let down anymore. I hope and pray 
everything works out. Crazier things have happened to me before. Just give it a 
chance. Give me a chance. Just give me one last chance to live.
