#tired poems on Hello Poetry

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

Nothing

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

In the sleepless night

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.

i figured you out.

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

Exhaustion

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.

Toxic **** Syndrome

I’m not an object
And I am tired
Of always being played

Illusion

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.

deserted

I can fake a smile to the unconcerned
But feel myself break down when asked
I’m so angry I’m driving myself insane
I try to distract myself with lists of tasks
I watch life progress without me
Can’t seem to match the pace
No matter how my speed increases
There’s no way I’m winning this race
I’m treading water, head barely afloat
While I watch everyone else coast by
Why does nothing I do seem to matter
I’m losing my motivation to even try

The last goodbye

Dear old Mom
Can I go to sleep now?
I've done my chores
For forty years
I made my bed this morning
And used the soap when I took a shower.
My clothes are folded and put away
Not sure if I'll need them another day.
I kissed your check
And I love you more than words can say.
I'll wait till you've gone to bed
But my eyes are heavy
I'll rest here for a bit.
Wake me up when you turn out the light
For the last time....
