Tired

So tired that I…
Want to be weird at night. 
And eat the weirdest food in the fridge. 
Heat it secretly in the microwave. 

So tired that I…
Missed the bus. 
Even though I don’t ride the bus. 
Turn back to the house. 
My house is gone.

So tired that I…
Became a part of the void. 
The one that makes me tired. 

So tired that I…
Missed my last day of school. 
Lost my shoe. 
Remember things that I shouldn’t…

Sitting up in bed.
I’m a little tired. 
I’m a weird person. 
My bed will never leave me. 
So I will bring my bed into the void with me. 

So tired that I…

Lost both shoes. 
Missed the bus again. 
Became a part of the void. 
Everything I needed to do today?
I think I got it done.
