I'm Tired: Poems

Habit

I'm Tired Aug 2017

Habit

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

Pain

I'm Tired Aug 2017

Pain

You would think
After all this pain,
That I would feel something
Anything
But all I feel is empty
-The pit inside me

Power

I'm Tired Aug 2017

Power

I like words
The way they give you power
To go anywhere
To do anything
To forget

Sound

I'm Tired Aug 2017

Sound

so much depends
upon
a single song
playing
the beat sounding
softly
on stage ballerinas
dance.

Time Lost

I'm Tired Aug 2017

Time Lost

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

Words

I'm Tired Aug 2017

Words

I try
With all my might
To use words
as an escape
-A way out
