Tired
Wow this has been one hell of a weak
I've felt so many emotions
that I almost can't focus
on being just me
So many tears had to fall
So that I could get back to
what I call normal
my heart stops
every time I think
I might lose someone close
My heart hurts every time
that somebody close
hurts me
It's ironic in a way
I can't stay happy always
I'm never afraid
to face the flames
there has to be
a beginning middle and end
you can't skim through life
It won't get better until
you live through the strife
each day gets a little better
and eventually wounds heal
I'm becoming an adult now
and it's becoming more real
I have choices to make
that will most de finitely affect my faith
this part of growing up scares me
I can longer blame it on childish things
If I f.u.c.k up I have to take full responsibility
I'm tired but it's been worth the experience
worth the growth
If I always ran away
I'd still be the same old me
and I'd still be unhappy
