Exhaustion

Have you ever been tired of life itself?

Exhaustion


I'm tired of pretending to smile,
And laugh when i don't feel glee.
I'm tired of holding back the tears,
And exhausted from pretending to be happy.

I'm tired of lying and saying i'm alright,
When people ask if i'm okay.
I'm tired of trying, and tired of crying.
I wish the tears would go away..

I'm just about ready to shout to the world,
"Can't you see, i'm not alright?!
I'm tired of faking, pretending, and breaking,
And crying myself to sleep every night,"

I'm tired of just barely hanging on,
Of barely clinging to a thread.
I'm tired of feeling empty inside,
And sleeping in a tear-stained bed.

I'm tired of pretending not to miss him,
When i only get a weekly call.
I'm tired of pretending not to be hurt inside,
When i really just want to bawl.

I'm tired of feeling hollow, weathered, alone,
I'm tired of no one feeling my pain.
I'm tired of waiting out this storm,
And i'm tired of drowning in its rain.
