I realized
That when the sun sets
My heart beats a little louder
The air flowing through my chest becomes compressed
And the blood running through my veins comes to a halt
The night cues my brain to start thinking
And my heart to stand still
And my feet to stay planted
Trees grow from the ground
And bind me
The words written in their roots
Reflect the inaudible truth of my life
The truth
The truth is I'm tired of living life alone
I'm tired of ruining a moment with my tongue
I'm tired of breathing in stale air
I'm tired of watching life pass me by
I'm tired of not knowing who I am
I'm too tired to figure it out
The truth is
Everything beautiful ceases to exist
When you're too damn tired to see it
