I'm tired.
So very tired.
Not the sleepy kind of tired,
the other kind.
I'm tired of everything.
Life.
People.
I'm tired of being hurt.
Of feeling alone.
Of not getting thanks.
I'm tired of feeling unloved.
Of being taken for granted.
Of living the way I do.
I'm tired of being walked on.
And of being ignored.
Tired of losing.
Of not getting anything I want.
And nothing going my way.
Of people being selfish.
Of not being smart enough.
I'm tired of being jealous.
And of being depressed.
I'm tired of wanting to cry,
but not being able to.
I'm tired of loving,
but not being loved.
Tired of being left behind.
Of people wanting more than I can give,
and taking more than I have.
I'm tired of being forgotten.
I'm just tired of being me.
