Man, I'm tired

You know, it's pretty exhausting 

Trying to keep that level of energy up 

Despite feeling like you're being bombarded

I get it, you're frustrated, but I feel like I just don't have a way to reliably work through it 

What am I supposed to do with all these pent up emotions?

It's like a balloon that is long overdue for a pop 

I wonder if it's a way life takes me, to drive me to my limits before I overcome something new 

Or is life trying to teach me something else?

I can't tell you how tiring it is, trying my hardest to take it in stride. 

Sometimes that thick skin feels a tad thinner on really hard days 

I feel like theres a big load on my shoulders I can't just shrug off 

I can't ask anyone to share it with me, out of principle 

But if I keep carrying it, it may only make it harder to do so as days go on 

It feels like I'm using more energy than I have to deal with it too 

And I feel stuck, like I need advice from someone that is too far away 

I just need a hug, and a big one at that 

But what if I just need some kind words myself, for once. 

Maybe thats all of us ever need sometimes.
