I'M Tired

I’m tired of baiting
  and tired of hating

I’m tired of winning
  in a rained out inning

I’m tired of loving
  when love’s not returned

I’m tired of crying
  tears poisoned and spurned

I’m tired of reasons
  excuses for treason

I’m tired of answers
  to questions now censored

I’m tired of forgiving
  the past repeating again

But I’m most tired of wishing
  —as hope turns to pain

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
