i see it in your eyes, darling
you're tired
and no, not in the way of
i didn't get much sleep last night
but in the way of
i'm tired of having to fight tooth and nail
just to keep what i've already got
i'm tired of having to battle for my happiness
i'm tired of crying myself to sleep
i'm tired of being drunk
i'm tired of risky texts
i'm tired of the people who are supposed to be my parents
i'm tired of the repeated loop of time
i'm tired of this town
i'm tired of this home
i'm tired of these people
i'm tired of this world i've never truly known
i'm tired of this basement
i'm tired of these words
i'm tired of this poetry
i'm tired of this writing
i'm tired of this life
i'm tired of this sadness
i'm tired of these tears
i'm tired of having to be a soldier
every waking moment
i'm tired of being alive
i'm tired of being hyper
i'm tired of eating this same thing every time
i'm tired of being alone
i'm tired of not knowing
i'm tired of not asking the right questions
i'm tired of being ignorant
i'm tired of falling behind
i'm tired of school
i'm tired of life
i'm tired of this heart
i'm tired of me.
so yes, i'm tired.
and those two words
hold more depth than the oceans
