I feel so tired, I want to sleep, Have felt this way so many years. I try so hard, but not for me, Let me permanently dry my tears. I’ve let down all those around, Guilt so deep, my pain to bear. Breaking what I searched and found, Unable to see and keep what’s there. Is this my punishment bestowed on me? A life of misery sentenced to be. Happiness not deserving to me, For failing my responsibility. I try to accept; My fate, matches the pain I’ve caused. I seek forgiveness, that I don’t deserve, Hence rejecting, relenting doors. Feel like loneliness I must accept, Punish myself continuously, Until there’s nothing left. When I eventually have paid my keep, My forgiveness accepted? Then I lay my head to sleep.

I Must Wait
I feel so tired, I want to sleep, Have felt this way so many years. I try so hard, but not for me, Let me permanently dry my tears. I’ve let down all those around, Guilt so deep, my pain to bear. Breaking what I searched and found, Unable to see and keep what’s there. Is this my punishment bestowed on me? A life of misery sentenced to be. Happiness not deserving to me, For failing my responsibility. I try to accept; My fate, matches the pain I’ve caused. I seek forgiveness, that I don’t deserve, Hence rejecting, relenting doors. Feel like loneliness I must accept, Punish myself continuously, Until there’s nothing left. When I eventually have paid my keep, My forgiveness accepted? Then I lay my head to sleep.
