By Chloé Combs If I wasn’t such a raging people pleaser, I would have killed myself by now.   People pleasing tempers the force behind the blade, a finger between my neck and the noose. My own naloxone.   I haunt this reality: Mom and Dad sit at the table and sigh. “What a disappointment.”      #darkpoetsclub #smallspacedeepimpact #50wordchallenge
