I'm Tired

I'm tired of life, 
Tired of the pain, 
I'm tired of hiding my tears
With the downpour of rain.

I'm tired of crying,
Tired of giving it my all, 
Tired of being ignored, 
Every time that I fall.

I'm tired of pretending
That everything is fine, 
I'm tired of hoping;
Of people ignoring the signs. 

I'm tired of forgiving
Everyone that's stabbed my back, 
So tired of picking up
Everyone's slack.

I'm tired of living, 
Why can't you just let me go?
I'm tired of not being able to
Tell others "no."
