I'm Tired
I'm tired
Of the same cycle
Of the same nonsense
Each day every day
The same thing over and over
I'm tired
Of having to get up
And go to work, deal with humanity
Answering my phone
Checking social media
I'm tired of having to be
The bigger person
To keep being kind when people
Are being down right disrespectful
I'm tired
Of having to let ppl say and do
As they please
Im.tired of just sitting back
I'm tired of just waiting
I'm tired of just being the strong one
When can I break down
When can I cry and grieve
When can I have my moment
Of towering apart
Y'all have someone
To lift you up
Mean while we have noone
It's us and the four walls
Trying to get through it
Cause there's no other way around it
You can't run
And you can't hide
So you might as well go head on
I'm tired
Of people pretending
And acting in my face
In my circle , and in my boundaries
I'm tired
Of trying to fit into
Other people's boxes
And for their perfect image
They aren't perfect
Ridden in sin
But cast judgement upon others
Preach no sermon to me
For God will deliver the proper
Message when the time comes
I'm tired
Of trying to figure it out
For others when they need to figure
It out for themselves
They aren't broken
They are lazy
They are unmotivated
And we must cheer them on
We must encourage and enlighten them
We must be the light that guides us
I'm tired
I just want to turn my
Mind off sometimes
And just be and peace
But that's so heard
When the planet is a pure distraction
I'm tired
But I'm becoming awake now
A battle a dark one no doubt
Gotta get humiliated in order
To be rebuilt anew
I'm tired
But I won't be for long
This isn't my sleeping period
This is my learning and observing period
