I'M Tired
I’m tired of being the baby
When I’m becoming so grown.
I’m tired of being the always count on friend
When I need somebody to lean on.
I’m tired of being the liar
To be considered a good friend.
I’m tired of trying to impress everybody
When I really need to fall.
I’m tired of not being able to speak up
When something’s killing me inside.
I’m tired of being the one who’s always doing wrong
And losing the trust of everyone.
I’m tired of hiding my feelings from others
When I wanna scream and cry.
I’m tired of crying alone,
And being caught in a lie,
As if life’s greener on my side.
I’m tired of tricking people into believing
That nothing’s ever wrong.
I’m tired of having to write everything out
Instead of saying things to people’s face.
I’m tired of trying to engender such a perfect life
When nothing I do or say ever comes out right.
I’m TIRED of being TIRED
