When I look at the word tired
I see the word tire
And it all makes sense

When we say we feel tired it’s bad
But car tires never stop
When they get flat or “tired”
They don’t stop no matter how low it gets

And maybe that’s why I still identify as tired
I am a tire

When life keeps pulling me forward
No matter how weak I get
I keep turning
Keep going

And it all makes sense

She is her own worst enemy at times,
As if she’s become a different person.
She got this way through telling all her lies,
And her condition persists to worsen.

In her mind she is never good enough,
But to me she represents perfection.
She is just so beautiful, smart, and tough,
But she can’t see that in her reflection.

She thinks she’s too big and has to get thin,
But to everyone else, she looks just fine.
She has a goal in life to always win,
But is there even a real finish line?

I see your mom more than I see you
It wasn't supposed to end like this
After all you put me through
It's 11:11 and you're still my wish


Tears fall slowly down my face
I end up wiping them on my bed
I was able to give you space
I guess these truly are the words never said

At first, I blamed my clumsiness
I laughed at it too
but deep down I knew
willingly, I slipped back for you

Everyone's alive
Until they're not
But some die
Before their heart stops

But what do I know
I'm only nineteen
And I probably can't hear clearly
Over the caffeine
