Tired

Don't you ever feel alone?

Like no one would care if you were gone?

Well I do.

I feel worthless

I feel useless, hated, and broken.

It's the worst feeling.

It tears you apart.

It leaves you in shreds

With no one to pick up the remaining pieces.

I feel empty inside

But I hide it.

A false smile covers my face

It's dazzling but it always covers the tears

"You have a beautiful smile" someone would say.

Little do they know, what it's trying to cover.

That it falters every here and there.

That it never reaches my eyes.

That it's painful to smile now.

No one understands.

No one will ever understand.

It takes strength, so much strength.

To get out of bed.

To eat.

To pretend.

I'm tired of pretending.

I'm tired of life.

I'm tired of everything.

I sleep it off.

But sleep only lasts so long.

There's something that will last for eternity.

Forever.

That's what I long for.

That's what I want.

That's what I deserve.

No one would care anyway.

No one is on my side.

I'm always in the wrong, aren't I?

I feel tired.

But not sleepy.

It's mixed up and I hate it.

My eyes feel heavy.

But my mind is wide awake.

I'm a disturbance.

A burden.

An annoyance.

Why not give in to the darkness?

It seems like the easiest way.
