I'm tired Of fake rainbows and fools gold Of the best of intentions with little to no action Of giant smiles through biting teeth
I'm tired Of caring too much and not caring enough Of either feeling helpless or hopeless Of running myself in circles while not doing a thing
I'm tired Of all the warning signs being there but no one seeing a need to warn Of innocence lost and hope forgotten Of lotteries with no winners, just losers
I'm tired Of those with blame being held blameless Of all the finger pointing but never introspective Of an endless need to consider everyone's feelings while simultaneously no one cares
I'm tired Of dishonesty from those in positions of power Of distrustful actions from those we're expected to trust Of money buying impunity
I'm tired Of being too lazy to have patience Of being part of the problem and not part of the solution Of trying to deal with my paranoia when someone's clearly out to get me
I'm tired Of endless waves of pity but never an open heart Of technology connecting us yet making us less connected Of the traditional definition of 'face-to-face time' replaced with things like Facebook or FaceTime
I'm tired Of togetherness only after we've been divided Of lives of youths spent by a misspent youth Of tragedy happening without warning with clear warning signs
I'm tired
Of no one being able to agree and that's the only thing agreed upon
