Dear Wafa,
I am tired. Not just physical exhaustion. I am tired of everything. Tired of going round in circles. Of being blamed for things beyond my control. Of being made to feel guilty for no reason. Of having to justify what others may or may not have done.
I am tired of being taken for granted. Tired of broken promises. Of dreams being trampled upon. Tired of being expected to give everything without even being asked of my expectations. I am tired of being ignored. Of not being understood.
I am tired of giving in all the time. Tired of being considered petty, spoilt, arrogant, disrespectful, quarrelsome, disappointing. I am tired of holding on, only to be accused of trying to break free. I am tired of keeping it all in... I am tired of who I have turned out to be, knowing that I will never be allowed to be who I really want to be.
