I'm tired of being quiet,

Im tired of standing by and watching life go by,

I'm tired of letting people push me around,

I'm tired of people thinking I don't understand,

I'm tired of my "friends" not being there when I need them,

I'm tired of being "the big girl",

I'm tired of people thinking I'm worthless,

I'm tired of not living up to expectations,

I'm tired of being tired,

                    ...

I'm done being tired.

I will be heard,

I will join everything and be the best,

I will take care of my body,

I will not stand down,

I will be understood,

I will live my life outside of these walls,

I will exercise my body, mind and soul, 

I will not except worthlessness, 

I will soar beyond expectations leaving behind anyone who drags me down,

                      ...

I am not tired.

I was put on this earth for a reason 

It's my time to shine.
