Tired

If I don't wake up tomorrow

There is no need for sorrow

For the days, months, years I have spent

I went in this dissent, content

Dark circles under my eyes

Many times no one heard my cries

I slumped around dragging my feet

So really there's no need to weep

Late nights I would stay up

Steaming beverage filled my cup

Calmly with a heavy sigh

I fell asleep in the wink of an eye

No expressions nor hope in my cold demeanor

A steady eye none more keener

No need for heartache to plague your tortured mind

I have no tattered glass to hide behind

So now I sleep for so many to admire

Do not wake me for I am tired

It's been too long, I claim the Eternal sleep for death has transpired.
