I'M Tired.

I’m tired of the bull. I’m tired of people thinking they’re better than me. I’m tired of having to 
talk to myself. I guess my words aren’t clear enough to listen to. I need to be free. My time 
is coming. When? I’m tired of waiting. I’m so tired.

There are only four walls, four corners, a ceiling, a floor, 
three windows, a table, four chairs and no door.

What! No door. I need to get out of here.
I broke three windows out with three of the chairs.

Outside the window there was nothing there. I was by myself.
I’m glad there were three windows. I have one chair left.

Between sitting, standing, pacing and beaten on the walls.
I came to see, I was lonely. I wasn’t tired at all.

You had me there for a while. I hope that you find someone to relate to so that you won't be so lonely or just a topic on which to write. Sara
