I thought it was okay not to feel alright,
To let sadness and tiredness overflow,
To embrace sorrow with open arms,
Believing brighter days would eventually show.

But I was wrong,
Waiting for problems to magically mend,
Welcoming sadness and fatigue all along,
Pretending that I was okay till the end.

Maybe this is just who I am,
Perhaps they're right, I don't deserve happiness,
A fate destined to feel this way, damn,
Born to endure perpetual unluckiness.

I'm tired,
Tired of pretending, tired of it all,
Weary of carrying this heavy load,
Tired of feeling violated, ready to fall.

Emptiness isn't nothing, it's the heaviest weight,
And now I'm tired, tired of this perpetual state.
