Tired of being Tired


I am tired of being tired. I am tired of being everyones stepping stone. I am tired of having extra meat on my bones. I am tired of feeling alone and forgotten. I am tired of never feeling important. I am tired of all the pain and the hurt. I am tired of being pushed around and treated like dirt I am tired of starting to doubt , what I would never dare to doubt. I am tired of wanting to take the easy way out. I am tired of being tired. I am tired of the sickness that haunts me. I am tired of letting my own brain to taunt me. I am tired of being called a coward. I am tired of feeling impowered. I am tired of always trying to look beyond the bad. I am tired of always feeling sad. I am tired of trying so hard to impress. I am tired of all the burden of my stress. I am tired of being tired. I am tired of the clicking tock in my head. I am tired of wanting to choose death instead. I am tired of feeling so worthless and having no importance. I am tired of feeling like my life has no purpose. I am tired of being tired. I am tired of setting my goals and dreams aside. I am tired of always just say " i tired" I am tired of only ending up as a last choice. I am tired of lashing out on my body with no remorse. I am tired of letting life get the best of me. i am tired of always wondering " what could be" I am tired of endless hope I am tired of being this worlds big joke. I am tired of being tired. I am tired of being tired you see, for being tired has caused these emotions to pour out of me. I am tired of being tired I
