Tired

 

Tired of wondering 
Not feeling up to par. 
Hearing everyone else beautiful stories while trying to recover the pieces of mine. 
Tired of acting strong when my body really wants to shut down. Take a break. 
Tired of pretending like I don’t care. 
Tired of being surrounded by the very thing that I run away from on the daily. 
I swear there’s more to life, but it doesn’t matter because everyone is so consumed by it. 
There’s no breathing air, because the whole situation is absolutely suffocating. 
God, if you’re reading, I need a break. 
I need some air. 
This is life eh? It’ll never stop eh? 
But I didn’t ask for this. 
None of it. 
Zip. Nada. 
I loved. 
It wasn’t enough. 
Everyday is a CONSTANT question to you. 
A constant explanation waiting. 
I get that it wasn’t meant to by, but why does it keep getting thrown in my face.
God if you’re reading this; I need a break. 
You and I both know that nobody relates anymore. 
Everyone is living in it
Some have multiple options? 
But me? It’s suffocating. 
There’s so much more to life, but honestly why the heck do I care? 
Is there more to life? 
Yes? 
Please, show me.

-tired of it all. Especially the circles.
