Humanly Tired
I wanna be a human now,
Not just a mere puppet, somehow.
I can't force myself to smile,
Even if it makes you happy for a while.
I'm tired of absorbing everything,
I can't be strong every single day, anything.
I want to rest, mentally and emotionally too,
To recharge myself, start anew.
The next time you see me, I won't be in love,
I won't fight for you anymore, like a dove.
This battle between us is over, done,
I'm tired and worn out, I've lost, you've won.
I surrender, I give up the fight,
I want just peace of mind, it's my right.
No more pretending, no more tears,
No more hiding my fears.
I wanna be a human, just like you,
With emotions, dreams, and flaws too.
I wanna live my life, be happy and free,
Without any more battles, that's my plea.
