I am tired.

I am tired of not being able to trust my own mind.

Anxiety ravaging my psyche, building walls I worked so hard to tear down.
Depression developing like cancer in my soul, blotting out the love and joy from life like thunder clouds suppressing the sun.

I am tired of my body working against me.

Fatigue forcing me to stand back as I watch life race ahead. Migraines that keep me locked in the darkness like a long forgotten memory.

I am tired of the necessity for a never ending list of drugs.

The harsh light of the doctors office as we discuss our options. Adding pill after pill to keep my mind and body above water.

But mostly, over everything else, I am tired of being tired.
