Thoughts

Poetry

My thoughts tend to form like poems, so I figured I'd share them- part of me hoping they make sense to more than just myself.

                                              You're tired.
But not for lack of sleep.
But rather
Too many thoughts.
Too many emotions.
The weight of your world
Sits on your shoulders
The weight of your world
Is crushing.
It hurts. 
It is heavy.
You want to let go.
But letting go is giving up.
And that satisfaction 
Will not be theirs.
You tell people
That you're tired.
That you didn't get sleep.
Because it easier to lie
Than to explain
How simply exisiting
Is exhausting.
How carrying your world
Is killing you.
How you aren't tired.
Just hurt.
How can you explain
That simple tasks
Wear you out?
How the smallest thing-
Inconvenience. 
Issue. 
Problem.
Feels like the world
Has stopped turning
And now
Sits on your shoulders?
How you can you explain
Why everything is so
Heavy.
