If you ask me how I am doing I will always reply, "I am tired". Every breath I take wastes the energy I don't have. I wake up in the mornings With imaginary chains pulling me down Into a comfortable wave of blankets, Demanding I stay for a little while longer. My eyelids don't get any heavier, They get lonely. They spend their nights kissing my cheeks, And during the days they only get swift visits. So I stay in my bed as long as I can to make them happy. As the world goes on, And I am here, We seem to forget about each other, And that makes me happy. The anxiety they give me is being washed away By the softness that surrounds me, And I am not tired. I am not wasting my energy on Fake smiles, Or talking To people who don't know what is actually going on in my mind. I stay in bed as long I can. I was lonely anyways, Atleast this way I can insure A part of me Would never be.

Tiredness
If you ask me how I am doing I will always reply, "I am tired". Every breath I take wastes the energy I don't have. I wake up in the mornings With imaginary chains pulling me down Into a comfortable wave of blankets, Demanding I stay for a little while longer. My eyelids don't get any heavier, They get lonely. They spend their nights kissing my cheeks, And during the days they only get swift visits. So I stay in my bed as long as I can to make them happy. As the world goes on, And I am here, We seem to forget about each other, And that makes me happy. The anxiety they give me is being washed away By the softness that surrounds me, And I am not tired. I am not wasting my energy on Fake smiles, Or talking To people who don't know what is actually going on in my mind. I stay in bed as long I can. I was lonely anyways, Atleast this way I can insure A part of me Would never be.
