Maybe I'M Tired

there was one who called me lazy the definition of lazy is unwilling to work to use energy maybe its because i spend too much energy crying stressing too much energy goes into the feeling of dying inside where nobody can see it withering me from the inside out maybe i try to hard to make a future for myself maybe I’m tired from jumping over your obstacles exhausted from running from the voice inside my head the one who screams at me every sleepless night worthless hopeless you won’t put up a fight maybe i won’t fight because i gave up because I’m done fighting done with fighting my entire life boxing for who I am wrestling for acceptance screaming for who I want to be maybe I’m tired with your labels your countless lies I don’t have to be perfect to fly but only the perfect want me to lie I am trying trying to become someone who loves there self who doesn’t have to fight maybe if i don’t need to fight I won’t be tired

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I'm also tired. Tired of trying to explain everything to everyone even when I mused may not totally understand. Well done
