Tired

Tired of feeling lonely 
And drowning and floating 
And living in conflict with myself 
Drinking constantly and never quenching my wondering 
Tired of seeing life and not being a part of it 
Tired of being a part of something I cannot trust 
Tired of not following my own plan 

But take heart, I remind myself 
That being on the outside 
is good 
For a writer.
