I'M Tired ...

I'm tired ... I'm tired ... The highs and lows The wishing and the letdowns The hope and the despair I'm tired ... My mind won't settle In a hurry to think the worst And yet to believe ... I'm tired ... My stomach never at ease Quivers and crumbles and turns And yet butterflies form ... I'm tired ... My heart - so abnormal Pumps boiling blood while in numerous shreds And yet it truly loves ... I'm tired ... My soul unrest "Nervous," "Alone," and "Heated Fear" Quickly in the innards creep And yet it feels and breathes the deepest depths I'm tired ... And why? For what purpose? Sense? It makes none Mind and heart conflict Almonds puff and the face swells Droplets pattern tracks in its chasms And why? For what purpose? Just give up ... wait Stay strong Let go ... wait Hold on Forget ... wait Remember ... remember then I'm so tired
