I am just extremely tired
Exhausted
Light-headed
Just tired

So please understand why I don't get out of bed
Why I never leave my room
Or I never smile back
Or if I get lost in my thoughts when you speak
I am just tired

I could sleep a thousand nights
And I would be even more exhausted
Because sleep will never cure this kind of tired
For I have already been lost within the maze which is my mind
And there is never a return from that
Trust me, I've been tiredly searching through my head for years
Which is why I am tired

I have been searching for reasons for humans actions
And their thoughts and feelings
How the world could be such a cruel place
But still house the most beautiful of things
Searching for meanings
To dreams, books, art, and my own ideas
Looking for something
Looking for anything
That might bring me to the truth
Which I do not even know
So that is why I am exhausted
That is why sleep will do nothing for me
Because as long as my heart beats and my brain functions
I will always be thinking, searching, creating
Too many thoughts, facts, dreams, people, and the world's memories

I will always feel fatigued
Consumed
Drained
Just tired
