Tired of the Feelings

(Written 5/24/23)

I'm tired of it

Hurting

I'm tired of the

Burning

I'm tired of

Everything

Eating me up inside

I'm tired of scars

Screaming

Telling me I've failed

Seemingly

And reminding me

Daily

That I'm no better than the rest

I'm tired of pains

Aching

I'm tired of blood

Bleeding

I'm tired of hearts

Beating

I just want this to end

A coma would be nice

Maybe

Something that could

Save me

Give me a

Break from

Everything inside

I'm tired of lungs

Breathing

I'm tired of words

Seeping

Into my skin

Into my bones

Until they weigh me down

I'm tired of love

Leaving

I'm tired of hope

Fleeing

I'm tired of

Everything

Please I need some help

Just give me hope

Daily

Remind me who can

Save me

And give me someone

Helpful

Just hold me up in the dark

We'll make it, truly

I think

Together, in the dark

Stronger

One day, we'll get out

Into sunlight

Into the great unknown ahead
