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)
