I am tired 

I’m tired, tired of breathing air that smells of pain

I’m tired of hoping that happiness will come knocking at my door

Tired of shedding tears of blood

Tired of chasing a future that doesn’t want me to catch it

I’m tired of being afraid

I’m tired of nights that drag on

I’m tired of drowning in my own inner flood

Tired of using my smile as makeup to hide my pain

I’m tired of the whispers that echo in my mind,

reminding me that I didn’t keep the promises I made to myself

I’m tired of being tired
