I'm Tired Aug 2017
It's all a matter of habit
Nails biting
Lips moving
Hands shaking
We can't control what controls us
It is feeling powerless that breaks us inside
I'm Tired Aug 2017
I like words
The way they give you power
To go anywhere
To do anything
To forget
I'm Tired Aug 2017
You would think
After all this pain,
That I would feel something
Anything
But all I feel is empty
          -The pit inside me
I'm Tired Aug 2017
I try
With all my might
To use words
as an escape
          -A way out
I'm Tired Aug 2017
I have stolen
the years
of your life
with love
and hate
but now stop
waiting
for a change

I am sorry
but it’s necessary
for renewal
A new start
I'm Tired Aug 2017
so much depends
upon
a single song
playing
the beat sounding
softly
on stage ballerinas
dance.

— The End —
