Let me be honest
I am so freaking tired
I need rest like a Snorlax
And if you don’t get that reference
You were never a 90s kid
Skidding to a stop on route 16 or 12
Wondering what the hell
Was blocking your path
And slipping into “yo momma” jokes
The world over
So I pull my bike to the shoulder
Trying to find the melody
That will remedy my malady
Because it’s the opposite of what you used

See I don’t just need rest
From walking town to town
I need it from you, myself,
And from everyone around
Giving their two cents
Calling it common sense and
Of course I should listen since
My wallet is empty of that currency
While yours is apparently so abundant
That you feel a necessity
To force it upon me as charity

I’m tired of clichés and
Bits of wisdom from authors anonymous
Because I’m telling you I’m not a mess
That can be fixed with your
Two penny potion
Made from your split second emotion
Based upon empathy or sympathy
I can’t quite tell when it comes
To your simply pity
I’m sorry I don’t sound grateful
I know you’re just being helpful
I’m just so freaking tired

Tired of stopping myself
Before even getting started
Because I know
The battles everyday are hard and
I don’t know
That I can make it out
As the champion I need to be
This has been my reality
Stutter stepping from 1 to 2 to 23
So maybe now you see
Why I’m so freaking tired

If I were to build a friend,
Here's what I would do.
I'd hunt for the finest parts,
And put them together with glue.

I'd need the normal things,
Like a body,and legs,and arms.
A head,a face,and feet,it's true,
But the best part is it's charm.

I'd get ears that listen,
With a heart so true.
There would be love to share,
When the soul is blue

I'd get some sympathy and tears,
When bad times are near.
I'd get some laughter and joy,
For when good days are here.

But most of all, it's true,
Together we would stand.
For we would be joined,
By GOD's loving hand.

Friends forever on,
We're steadfast and true.
There for each other,
Friends, always true blue.

I've cried my millionth tear,
And heard my millionth lie,
I've asked my millionth question,
and said my millionth why,
I've lost my millionth battle,
But won my millionth fight,
I've had my millionth sleepless one,
and cried throughout the night,
my heart has skipped its millionth beat
my feet have touched there millionth street,
My body took its millionth breath,
my soul has died its millionth death,
I cried my millionth tear today!
