Tired of fighting


Laying here in bed Feeling emotionally unavailable An explosion in my head Tired of fighting for everyone If I don't, they may leave Or found dead I'm the fixer I need the fixing Mixed feelings Tired of feeling Going over our last fight Continuously in my head Standing up for what I believe Feeling wrong within feeling like I am too much If I wasn't then why no fuss Why do I come to you With concerns of yesterday Why do I lay here feeling unheard Like an annoying bird Nagging in my ear Whispering I'm worth the world I'm worth fighting for Sweet words escape your lips I need action Beyond the script You understood from day one Yet why so many times I just want to run Promised you'd take extra careful Of this heart Why can't you just do what I say If I'm not too much I must be easy For what I desire It's burning inside me I'm tired of reaching out I want to be reached you see I want to feel I'm not the only one Fighting Not quit on me Don't tell me you can't make me happy Don't tell me it's not exactly what I asked for Tell me you will do what it takes You won me before Win me again

Hey all! I've been writing poetry as far back as I can remember! I'm an author to a few books, but for about 20 years I stopped writing books, but never stopped writing poetry. I'm also an artist and paint! Poetry, writing and poetry is all art to me! ❤️

<p>That&#39;s pretty deep I love this poem. It&#39;s exactly how I feel there&#39;s days I feel misunderstood.</p>
