Best Tiredness Poems

Have you seen-- 
How much is still pungent -
And sour our misery upon lips!

Have you seen--
How confusing words will be,
If from tears jumped out --
Our aspirations,
With songs and stars!

Have you seen-- 
How apparently pale our dream,
How wither in the orbits 
Of the night stealthily,
Then suddenly...

When we have worked over time,
Still our work is pending,
Our mind commands for nothing, 
But just requests for resting.

Our each and every organ speaks,
Gradually screams,
And at last tears are on the peak!
But we don't give up hope,
We still do our job!
And when we get rest
That...

My eyes hurt as I awake
When a lack of sleep attacks me
Another difficult time waking up
Although, less difficult than the last
I struggle to keep my cogs working,
As I leave the comfort behind
And start anew...

tired, always tired.
feeling like everything is ruining me.
This entity wanting to eat me alive.
Tired, sleepy, cranky, gloomy.
My reason for happiness, the day of the next.
So sick of being sleepy, so sick of being awake.
Tired, always tired.
Making me afraid....

This subject has caught my attention
when one night I hardly slept at all
one day I suffered extremely sore back
realising both had a pain even for the tall

After that night of little sleep for me
the next day I was tired like never before
it felt like a...

cattle run to shed with dust

From birth to middle age
Tell tale signs sending us into a rage
Not knowing what to expect
Slowly approaching wondering what comes next

Hot flushes to mood swings
I wish someone would have told me these things
Trying to find a way to cope
Visits to the doctor for a glimmer...

i've grown weary
of this story
growing
weary
of this frame
oh so weary
of this cosmos
in which I got this name

and I can't remember why I came

I'm fearful for the leaving
can't seem to quit the game
oh how I love this loathsome body
I carry with me night and day

and when I...

Eclipse               


without sun
I am etiolated,
enfeebled, bereft

my backbone heavy
and limp,
muscles stale and indurate
from disuse

I try to lift my face,
feel the light, 
even the dawn or dusk,
even when fog would cloud my vision

but...

Sphinx


this ugly, amorphous monster is
stalking me again

loathsome, foul blackened heart
half-eaten by vicious, resentful loathing

it feeds on me, tears me,
rips into my viscera,
fanged words perverse and savage

scalding my insides,
scouring me – 
not clean, but raw and used,
the filthy residue left by its path
clinging to my insides,
making...

I’m surmounted by 
age-old anxiety,
and bright dreams of 
laying under a stone
to mark my place among 
people on every side of me,
worm-eaten and absolutely alone.

I move through the days 
in chains of nostalgic tragedy,
with new reasons to bury
beneath the old oaks
with wounded flesh and 
all...

I used to scrub my memory clean
I packed the sadness
Into an old cupboard
Before I packed my tiredness
Into the night
And slept soundly
I locked the rain and the wind outside
I never let the cupboard open nor let the sun in
Hoping that the sadness will degenerate and walk...

White Ted looked flat; 
that hair and pyjama bed smell.
She was getting heavier

My bleary eyes trying not to sleep.
Bone protruded from flesh, 
blooded the seat and gearstick; 

leaning in best I could
to cannulate, set up drip by torchlight
as Firefighters started cutting.

She smiled and tightened her...

A headache is not
Simply healed with a pill
When it happens to be 
A gigantic problem without a solution
A non-ending pile of work accumulating
A deadline without any bonus  of time 
A state of tiredness without a break
And so a headache lingers on
Until a decision is...
