Tired
I’m tired
Tired because sleep is becoming a rare luxury
Tired of trying so hard when I know I’m going to fail
Science and math are languages I do not speak
Simply doing the work only gets you a C when you fail the test
What am I doing this weekend?
The answer is almost always school work
They say, “It’s easy” yet I still don’t understand
I’m tired of feeling useless
Like I know I can do better even as I’m in overdrive
Tired of people pointing out my flaws
And ignoring my rights
Exams over
It’s the weekend
Time to recharge
Except recharging equals lazy
Do more so they’ll like you
I’m tired of never being good enough
Tired of being uninvited, left out, forgotten
I try and try but always come up short
My actions are beginning to blur together
I like to punch walls
I want to go to sleep
I’m tired
I don’t want to wake up
Have to, there’s still more to be done
I’m tired of wondering if it’ll get better
Tired of holding it all in
I’m tired of not reaching peoples expectations
Tired of being criticized
I'm tired of being alive
When I'm not living.
