I'm Tired & I Lied by Anna dell miller

I'm tired of being used,

I'm tired of being unwanted,

I'm tired of being worthless to everyone,

I'm tired of fighting when there is no end to this battle,

I'm tired of trying to prove I'm something when I'm nothing,

But mostly I'm tired of life.

I'm tired of this passion for life.

I'm tired of this hatred I feel for life.

I'm tired of this feeling of love for this life.

But overall I'm tired of people.

I'm tired of not being good enough for them.

I'm tired of not being enough for their mere souls,

I'm tired of just waking up & seeing them every day.

But primarily I'm tired of myself.

I'm tired of not being good enough for myself.

I'm tired of not being who I want to be for myself.

I'm tired of feeling so alone inside of this body of mine.

I'm tired,

But I'm fine.

Right?
