Tired has seeped into my bones

Into my brain

Slowing the neurons that need

To tell my body to move

My heart to pump

My lungs to breath

Tired has invaded my soul

And pulled apart the seams

Until the things it held inside

Spilled out 

Exposed to the blackness

That is slowly polluting me

Tired has put out my fire
Left me caring too little

And wanting too much 

With teeth clenched and tongue held

To keep my poisonous words

From spilling

Tired has left me weak

And unable to defend myself 

With a desire to hurt

And injure

To claim justice

And leave no survivors

Tired is pouring from my eyes

Blurring my vision

And making my chest burn

In an effort to

Ease the pressure that is 

Building

So I will sleep

With the hope that tomorrow

I will wake and tired

Will have finally left me
Allowing me to repair,

Reclaim, 

And restore 

The damage it has done.
