Jax's poetry

"I'm Just Tired."

"I'm just tired."
Or at least that's what I tell them
They can't say I'm a total liar
I just feel so overwhelmed
Crying in the school bathrooms
Such a shameful act
This soul is nothing but an empty tomb
I use coping mechanisms to get the time to pass
I want them to understand
I need to escape
My head is my own land
I hate being awake
Sleep is my peace
I have to stay, but
When I'm gone, who's gonna miss me?
I can't stand putting up this front
I wear a smile
It's not a good thing
My life is a trial
What's happiness going to bring
To this lowly life of mine
Standing in this court room
Watching the case
This will certainly be my doom
"This is where my end takes place"
The thoughts in my head
All come around here
When I'm laying in my bed
Wondering why this isn't my year
