Tired

sometimes, I just wanna lay down...and never get up... I'm not lazy... I'm just tired of living a damaged existence, with a damaged heart & a damaged mind, in a gosh-darn damaged world!

Lately, I've just been so tired

Worn out by the troubles of every day

Damaged by the hurtful things

They don't know I've heard them say

The trials that I go through 

the struggles that I fight

The thoughts that haunt me in the day

And keep me up at night

It just seems so pointless 

to keep moving even though

It would be so much easier 

for me to just let go

Sometimes I even wonder 

Why I haven't surrendered

Maybe it's because that's not

How I want to be remembered

Although I will admit 

I've considered it before

How much easier It'd be

To not wake up anymore

To hear the darkness beckoning

and listen to its call

to open my arms

and just let myself fall

But then I remember

What I always seem to forget 

The reason why I just

Cannot give up yet

I haven't finished my mission

What I was put here to do

I haven't changed the world

Like I've always wanted to...

Anyone else feel tired of it all?

I hear you. I feel you. If only you knew. The world can only be changed one heart at a time. Each person has to make this a personal mission. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen any time soon. Love yourself. Live your life. Be happy. You are worthy and you deserve it.
