I'm wasting away
I am tired
Oh so tired
And I can not allow myself
To succumb to this exhaustion
This terrible trickery of the mind
I have numbed it!
My head is aching with a burning desire to clench the truth with my bare hands
But I cannot
I cannot
For I am tired of sleepless nights
And restless days
I have stifled her roar once again
And God,
I am tired.
