Heart And Soul

Tired

Tired.

Could it be the lack of sleep?

The busy schedule?

Do I get enough to eat?

Do I take some time to get off my feet?

This is not the type of tired I speak of.

There are times when we are tired of life.

Sometimes we want to slip away,

life takes a toll.

Just so tired.

But how do you say this to the ones you love?

Tired and afraid,

so you build a wall.

Not to keep others out,

but to see who cares enough to put in the effort to get in.

Maybe you think no one wants to get in.

I do.

I love you,

so I will scale this wall.

Lean on me,

I won't let you fall.

I don't know what you're going through

But I know you're tired so let me help you.

Let me in so I can help.

I care about you,

so please don't take your life away from me.
