sometimes, i'm just so tired.
my head hurts and my eye lids are heavy as lead
my arms remain by my sides, lifeless, and my legs are too weak to carry me forwards
my vision becomes cloudy, i struggle to stay awake, yet when i try and sleep, sleep never comes

its like i try so hard but all my efforts never seem to have any effect
i feel like i'm underwater, with all my movements slow and strained, slowly forgetting about time and chocking on my lack of air
all i want is peace with myself, but in my case it comes with a price.
time and patience are two things i need, and two things i don't have.
