Heaven
I'm so tired
Every footstep
Feels like miles
How much longer
To get where I'm going
My weakened legs
And buckled belly
Catching breath
On my broken lungs
yelling
I'm so tired
Let me rest in peace
Lord
I can hardly walk
And lift my arms
My head is hung
On lifes gallows
Every footstep is a thousand pounds
Every breath is a half pull
I'm so tired
My eyes close
Inside helplessness
My mind kills
Itself
The world is so heavy
To carry
My shoulders failed
I've lost desire
I'm so tired
And I can't lift my spirit any higher
On the floor of trying
I lay here dying
slow
And why here
All these years and marathons
Gasping for every breath
And finish lines
The time of speed
In the heart of beats
Crying in the pain of natures beast
I'm too tired of getting up
When my face is punched
And pummled each week
I want rest
In the peace of the graves death
Because I'm just too tired here
Fighting loneliness
Battling for money blessed
In paychecks spent
On rent and food fats
I'm too tired
To eat much
Too gone
To feel loved
I'm exhausted
To the max edge
Of this worlds coffin
I lay here
Staring at the ceiling
Waiting for my nerves
Calming
I want to sleep
But I'm still awake
And I contemplate
Escape
I believe it's coming
The weight of the world
Is so tough to carry
It's heavy with worry
And the devils scurvy
All I can do
Is eat drink
and be merry
But I'm just too tired
Of sparing
My life
