Tired

With lifted hands,
And tired eyes.
I can't seem to find peace tonight.
My life was falling into place,
But now it seems to trip and fall
With no grace
I was climbing mountains
Feeling tall
I was conquering hardship
But now I feel myself fall

I duck taped the pieces
Held it all in
But somehow it still found
A way to fall in
The cracks and crevices of my tired hands
My bloodshot eyes
And tormented sleep
I can't keep up with
All of this
It piles up in a heap
Weighing on my mind
Up at night
Too much to try and sleep tonight
I don't find peace in quite times
Or anywhere else
But in your arms
I hear you say
I have held you child
Every step of the way
I sit right by you
And hold you tight
I won't let go
I have you here
With me
