Poems for the Lonely

Tired

At first I though I was just tired,
Fatigued you might say,
Causing me to want to rest,
The whole entire day.

So I did what anyone would do,
I went to sleep at eight,
Much earlier than usual,
Thinking it would lead to an energized fate.

But I woke up the next morning,
Still tired as always,
Wanting to stay in bed like I had the flu,
And for why, I had no clue.

So I was determined to figure it out,
Why I was tired a lot,
And I realized,
I wasn't as okay as I thought.

I started tracking my feelings,
And it opened my eyes,
The smile I wore all day,
Was just a really good disguise.

My smile didn't just fool the others,
It fooled me too,
Tricking my mind that I was okay,
And then everything was in a different view.

I figured out that I am tired,
Not tired cuz of sleep,
But cuz my life was not something,
I was inspired to keep.
