Resolved

Resolved-

I'm tired

Tired of the bashing

Tired of the working

And the scorning

The dreams of money

And the nightmares of hope

 

Resolved-

Tired, just tired

Of the people

Hurting, coniving, wasting

Al the potential we humans have

Tired

Of the process, the struggle

The carelessness

That seems to come

With being Me

 

Resolved-

That I am just tired

Of being tired

Tired of downplaying my exhaustion

For the sake of someone else's

Tired, just tired

And I am young

I am not suppose to be tired

Of anything

But I am

 

And that is the biggest problem

Of all

 

And it makes me tired the most.
