Sick & Tired

I am sick of living & tired of life
Though we all have to go through it
I’m sick being wrong & tired of not being right
Try to cover up but whom am I foolin?

Sick of problems & tired of no answers
So what’s the point of it all?
Sick of mistakes & tired of chances 
When all I seem to do is fall

Sick of the nagging & tired of excuses
That’s one thing for sure
Sick of hurting  & tired of bruises 
That my heart always endures

Sick of being mad & tired of anger
That just sit & builds up inside
Sick of fear & tired of danger 
But yet I constantly run & hide 
 
Sick of actions & tired of consequence
Even though I’m always at fault
Sick of lies & tired of promises
That goes on and never seems to stop 

So sick of sympathy & tired of the untruth
That’s fed to me constantly
Sick of having to wonder & tired of having no proof
Of what it is that follows me

Sick of being stuck & tired of this position 
That I was forced to be put in
Sick of complaints & tired of my ignorence
Because I’m not the only person breathing the air in this world that I live in

SICK OF BEING SICK & TIRED OF FEELING TIRED
I ONLY CAN HELP MYSELF
