#justtired
I’m tired of being tired And instead of resting, I decided to hide. I’m tired of explaining That the world isn’t just you and me, That the earth keeps on spinning And I’m pinned on a place I never wished to be. I’m tired of crying, Sleepless nights, and swollen eyes. The eyes that turned red in the morning Because the whole night I’ve been trying to live. I’m tired of smiling, When every piece inside me is breaking. When all I wanted to do is to explode, Yet all I do is just nod. I’m tired of saying “I’m fine” When in fact I am not But you still believe me Because you’re too blinded to see. I’m tired of typing words— Words you’re not worth to see; Words you never heard from me, Words that I meant to keep. I’m tired of staying And every night I thought of leaving But then I imagined you alone And then I walk back to my bed wishing I’d drowned. I’m tired of pretending— Saying I never loved you When the truth is I really do. And it hurts so much too Because no matter what I say, No matter what I do All you can see Are the things I never meant to do. Above everything else… I’m tired of being tired And I bet you have no idea How many times I already died.

Just Tired
For those that are "just tired" and have nothing to look forward to: there's someone out there that will fill the hole in your broken heart. you just have to find them. this is for those that think that scarring their skin is more beautiful than the world we live in. for those that lost their virginity, like me, at age 15, on a cold bed, with someone who has even colder eyes. someone that had no right to take something so precious- so valuable- away from us. someone you thought you knew so well, but at that very moment, he turned into a complete stranger. this is for those who spend every waking moment, romanticizing about suicide, constantly thinking about when they're going to try again. "I love you. I support you. You are important. Live. Smile" :)
