I'm Tired


Today, I say I'm tired. An hourly occurence, Like clockwork. I'm tired. I didn't get enough sleep last night, For I was awake with the Chaos of the world Running through my head. I'm tired. I'm constantly anxious, running around Doing homework, kissing frogs, Wondering if I'm ever doing enough I'm tired. I'm constantly in an act. Pretending to be a good "daughter". Pretending I'm happy when they call Me someone else. Being everyone's rock when I'm shattering from Overuse. Abuse. Pretending I'm okay When I'm already dead I'm tired. I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired. It means I'm not okay
