Just A Bit Tired...

I'm just laying down, trying to fathom why my mind is so cruel.

Deadly thoughts, call it Freddy Kruger.

Because people don't even know how I'm dying inside.

Just get me a coffin so maybe I can lay down a bit more.

 

I've been laying down all day, maybe because everybody has been stepping on me.

And I'm just too weak to get back up, well I'm just use to it.

Living in the shadow of somebody else.

Always coming in second just means that I'm nothing special.

 

Maybe I come off the wrong way.

Come off as nice and caring.

And I hate that.

Because nice guys don't even come in second, they always finish last.

Letting everyone ahead.

Leaving no happiness and joy for themselves.

 

I'm just there smiling but making no sound.

Except saying, "I'm fine, I'm just a bit tired."

 

*I let my words say nothing at all and let my silence explain everything.

Why is it that when I don't have a smile on my face, it's the only time you ask me if I'm okay.*

 

I'm sorry.

That for one day, I show my real emotions and made you worry.

I'm sorry.

That I was talking to your crush because she was the only one that could make me smile at the time.

I'm sorry.

For being me.

A snake, a bad friend, and a horrible person.

I'm sorry.

For getting out of bed this morning.
