When someone asks me,

"What is wrong?"

I simply reply with,

"I'm just tired."

And they agree;

They say to take a nap.

But you see,

This exhaustion,

It is not something simply resolved by sleeping.

I cannot simply shut my eyes

and wake up okay.

I need a break from

my brain,

my heart,

my life.

I need to go away

For just a little while.

Or maybe just for forever.
