I'M Tired

I'm tired
I feel like i've been through
 20 hurricanes
  and fist faught until my noes bleed times a million
   I feel like my heart has been picked up and dropped
            on glass times a trillion 
               I feel like a river exsists 
                Behind my eyes
                 I can't tell you how many times I've cried
                        I feel like i'm sorrounded by
                            Waxable human beins 
                              Just on display 
                                  No kind of substance  
                                   I'm tired of the pain 
                                     I feel like a zombie 
                                         Getting a chance to walk amongest the living
                                             All they want is understanding
                                                  But people steady judging
                                                      I'm tired of the values
                                                           I'm tired of hitting rock bottom
                                                               I'm tired of people thinking they know
                                                                 When they will truly never get it
                                                                     Why i'm so tired
                                                                     I feel like i've been chained up 
                                                                              for 50 years 
                                                                             I need to be released
