I’m Just So Tired

I’m tired. I’m so tired of never feeling like enough, never getting enough sleep, and never smiling. I’m so tired of the world always being so bleak and sad, and hope always seems so far away.

I’m tired of disappointments, hard days, and long nights. I’m tired of people hating and taking everything they see. I’m so tired of how there’s never peace. There’s always some argument, some incident, and never any rest. I’m tired of how monotonous and melancholy days are, and how I start missing the light.

I’m so tired of always having something to do, something to lose. Can’t I just rest? Can’t everyone and everything just take a break for a day? stop the commotion and craze of life? Isn’t there just some way to disconnect for a little?

I’m so tired of having everything I should think and I should say told to me by someone else. I’m tired of the thirst for power, and I’m so tired of selfishness. I weary of the long news reports of people acting for their own desires, regardless of the outcomes. I’m tired of people not caring, and me not caring. I am tired of life being something to survive, not to live.

I’m tired. Can’t I just rest?
