Tired

I'm too tired to care - too worn to wear that chic shirt which matches my shoes that you seem to care so much about I'm too drained to change at all Truthfully, I'm more than tired - an exhaustion born from a wired brain too tormented to sleep - Too terrified to be burned alive in this frigid fire pit again and again - but too afraid to end it Too scared to survive, too frozen to finish it, too weary to wrap it up Too frightened to fix this sinking ship, too panicked to patch it up, yet too spooked to let it sink What I'm trying to say is I'm trapped Haunted by each torturous moment I feel too powerless to pry myself from I think we're all too concerned with our own prying to feel courageous enough to pry into another's life and aid them in prying just enough courage to live another day That's all you need Sometimes just a pinpoint of light on this ever growing galaxy Just enough I think that's what God gives Just enough
