tired of

tired of

 

Looking into mirrors & realizing

Death occurred long ago

Knowing that what happens

Is never my will

But theirs

See me fall down

Crush my spirit

Like I did those hands

Bind me

To the weight of my penance

Set that stone afloat

For my sins weigh heavy.

 

tired of

 

Understanding & acceptance

Tired of silent words & absolution

Wisdom and caring

Joy & happiness

If only because

These are the things

I never understood how to create

 

god I am tired of…

 

Tired of being complacent

The anxiety from looking

The thoughts of being

Trying to be cool

Acting like all is good

My life

Here I f***ing stand

 

tired of

 

Being the good one

Earning for anyone but me

Being their rock

Supporting every ones world

But mine

Codependency and hating myself for it.
