"I'm tired," I whispered to my troubled soul,
Only to get silence as the reply
I wonder if it too left me
When I decided not to fly.
I was afraid of the boundless sky
Of the heights that I would reach
I was afraid of the stars that shone,
Too brightly for me to see.
"I'm tired," I say over and over,
Of what, I don't understand,
Maybe of my own broken heart,
Maybe of your two merciless hands.
I'm tired of listening
To what others always say
I'm tired of being
In a game I can't play.
I'm tired of smiling,
When all I want to do is cry
I'm tired of laughing,
When all I want to do is scream out why?
"I'm tired," I say all over again,
Knowing that noone would hear,
How would they when I'm all alone,
Trapped forever in this lair
A lair of despair I live in,
On sorrow I feed each day,
I no longer know what I'm writing,
Maybe I'm the one going insane today.
