Yeah weird right?😩
I sure don't act like it
Or do I ?
Trust me it's not pretense
I stood at this door and knocked
severally
Noone ever answered
You slammed doors on my face many
times too
It's all good I guess
Sometimes I guess it's safer to push
people away
"Slap on one cheek, turn the other
one too"
(lol )do you actually do that or you
just want to sound wise?
You manage to ignore the fact that I'm
human after all
humans you see,
They are flawed by nature but how
would we get by but for grace
Humans, we say the wrong things
sometimes, either We overreact
in situations
but We still react
it's a sign
We are alive (irritability you see?)
We need to respond
We slip and fall, some more than others
Humans, they also get tired😥
Tired of putting yourself on the line
for the people,
who don't seem to even care or
appreciate the effort
Tired!
of always being the bigger person
(when are you going to be finally be
that bigger person??😔)
Tired of being strong because there isn't really much of a choice
You know what happens?,
You stand for so long and so strong
People,
don't see you as a human being
anymore( You become the Robot/
Metahuman)
The reality is , You actually need
someone to stand
behind you too, check up on you too!
Tired,
Of standing so long waiting at the
door for
people to realize (Hey🙋I'm still here )
You know the thing about waiting for
that long?
After a while,
Your legs start hurting, it eventually
gets boring too
Next is your patience starts wearing
thin
Then again, You're HUMAN
So yeah
Forgive me (Genté ) I'm only Human
...For walking away ☺.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
So here is to anyone who gets tired at
some point. It could be a of
friendship, relationship, work too( the
list is endless)
Just know it's human nature.
At that point for me(Oh boy!) even
my tiredness was tired and I got tired
of being TIRED.
It's not easy but you can't change who
you are just because people don't
appreciate what you carry on the
inside💕
