Tired

‘Tired’ Ever noted the many adaptations of ‘tired’? How much you miss sleep when fatigue leaves you wired? Try to find the right words to reflect how you feel When drained, worn out, weary Trying to wake’s not ideal There's your various ‘tired’s’ Such as; 'over' and 'out' There's a 'dog' and his 'bone' After yawning pass out Brain fogged and drowsy Jet lagged and grouchy Just a stroll to the shop You’re soon ready to drop Sluggish and sleepy, so ready for rest Over worked, no reserve, put to the test Hate those points in the day, when you feel so frustrated Like sad balloon with no air, you’re feeling deflated When on you’re on your last legs, energy depleted Spent and sapped and feeling defeated Turning stale feeling jaded All strength now has faded, You're finished, just spent No strength left to vent All of these words, barely outline How exhausted you feel despite ‘looking fine’ ‘Tired’ ~ by Victoria Payne July 2016 https://m.facebook.com/groups/Poemsbyvictoriapayne/
