Dear You,

I'm tired. I'm tired of putting on a smile and being okay, because I'm not.

Mom says to tell her when I'm having a bad day, but everyday is a bad day so I don't want to keep bringing it up.

I'm tired. I want to sleep. I want to sleep and never wake up. I don't mean die, I just mean I want to sleep. When I do I get to escape all of this. I get to escape the sadness and loneliness and pain and all of it.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of smiling.

I'm tired of being okay.

I just want to break down in someone's arms, but again ugly crier.

Maybe that's the problem.

-Me.
