I'm so tired.
I'm tired of hearing
The same thing
Over and over
Again.

That it'll be ok.
But it won't.
It won't ever be ok.
Wanna know why?
Because I'm already
Beyond being
'Ok' again.

That being older
Makes you better.
Just because I'm
Older, doesn't mean
I'm smarter.
Doesn't mean I'm
Braver.
Doesn't mean I'm
Better than them
Because they are
A hundred times
Better than me.

That suicide isn't
The answer.
Because I'm
Running out of
Answers,
And sometimes
This seems like
The only one
That will work.

I'm just so very tired
Of hearing the same
Words.
Because that's all
They are.
Words.
And they don't
Mean a thing.
They don't just
Magically open
My eyes to see
That there's more
To the world
Than greedy
People.
Because there's not.
Everyone is greedy.
And I'm tired.
So, so tired.
