My Tired Thoughts

Tired is what the reoccurring theme seems to be.
Tired is the story that surrounds and in-prisons so many sunken in eyes
Tired is the excuse, Tired is the explanation, Tired is the communication
Why do we get to hide behind this word so free, when given it’s so easily accepted.
Tired of what? For me— past decisions that keep finding ways to haunt me when I least expect it.
Tired of this life that has yet to begin, tired of disappointing myself, tired of trying to catch up with school work, social work, and work work.
Tired of being alone…
~V.S.R.R.
This poem revealed thoughts I didn't even know I was thinking, that question you asked is so valid
