The Third Poem

lately i've only been feeling one way

i'm not sure why but i only ever feel tired

i'm not sure how to explain or what to say

it isn't a tired like im needing sleep

it's more of a feeling that lays down deep.

i wish it was a tired that a nap or energy drink can fix,

but instead this is a tired that makes me feel sick.

Im tired of getting played,

i'm tired of being left by people who said they'd stay,

i'm tired of not feeling okay,

i'm tired of hoping for a better day,

i'm tired of holding back everything i want to say,

i'm tired of feeling all gray,

i'm tired of feeling like i could break like clay,

i'm tired of wishing my pain away,

i'm tired of being used like an ashtray,

i'm tired of my head feeling like an unfinished essay,

i'm tired of not having a reason to stay.
