Tired

I'm so tired, Tired of
being taken for granted

I'm so tired of the acid
reflux that burns the back
of my throat.

I cry inside, because no
one knows the love I have
inside of me.

I hurt because I give people
too much power over me.

Its hard for me to mislead
someone or deceive them,

I feel someone can come 
and do the same to me.

Thats why I stay strong in
what I beleive in and I know,

Things will eventually work out.
