I must work to recover.
I must recover to work.
I need both chicken and egg,
Yet neither come first.

I'm sick of being tired.
I'm tired of being sick.
I'm stuck at rock bottom.
And can't climb out of it

memories
feelings
tears
smiles.

after tomorrow, they'll be gone for a while.
as summer returns
and my main focus is not to learn,
i'll be alone and older by each day.
don't worry, we'll talk, they say,
but summer returns
and my loneliness yearns
for someone to talk to
but I don't want to bother you.
until august comes back
and my head goes whack,
will you speak to me,
you're not a real friend, can't you see?
I'm sorry that we didn't talk
and I feel as if I hit bedrock,
you'll act nice
and i'll think twice
about letting you back into my life
when it's filled with strife.
but i'll fail and become sad
then i'll drive you mad
until you leave
and i'll greave
until august returns.
last day of school tomorrow. sad. surviving finals.

Don’t wipe the sleep from my eyes
Let me phase through the day
In a spearmint haze
Unfocused and unaffected
Lost within the loaves of thoughts
That rise and form forests around me
Cotton clouds on my eyes
“Oh I didn’t notice”
Starch stuffs my ears
“What’d you say?”
Blankets bathe my skin
But sometimes I just ignore
Leave me here
Where I’m comfortable and unbothered
I’m sleepy and thus saved

Have you felt it before?
The urge to just disapear
Be gone forever
Coz I did everyday
Run from all of this
Too tired of everything
Maybe they won't feel it
If I'm gone
Coz I have no worth
I'm just nothing
I must sleep to live tomorrow, but tonight I am filled with sorrow.
I lost my dreams in a field of tears, somewhere far away from here.
Shouldn't it be easy to find?
As easy to find as the warm summer sand, or is it as rare as someone who loves me for who I am?
Sleep fixes the pain in life, but sometimes those dreary gates refuse to open at night.
Insomnia strikes like a backhanded blow, forcing you to not sleep anymore.
I just want to find some peace for this cold stone heart that is in my chest.
Hopefully, I will find somewhere where my head can finally have a good nights rest.
I can't sleep tonight, for I have had so much sadness and loss.
I hope you enjoy the mental recreation of my pain of the night.

we are toxic.
you miss me and resent me because of it
ashamed that someone like you
could love someone like me.
so you burry your emotions under other girls.
and i think that’s okay.
because we are both moving on slowly
we are both tired
we are both hurting
if only

There's nothing worse than
Feeling exhausted at the end of the year
So tired that you can't function
And things aren't abundantly clear.
This poem got out to my tiredness that I'm experiencing at this current moment.

I’m not an object
And I am tired
Of always being played
By M May 2019
I think I was distracted
From the truth swirling around me
I'm thankful for the stress that shielded me
From the truth

That I am alone; unheard, unwanted,

unloved.
My exam stress completely distracted me from the truth that my family is completely ******* up. We can't be in the same room without yelling or fighting or putting each other down. I wish I didn't have to be here.
