Tired

Sometimes emotions are exhausting...

I'm so tired.
Tired of living in fear.
Tired of being irrational.
Tired of not letting anyone near.

My heart has been sliced.
Stabbed.
Torn.
My wounds have been reopened.
More often than a bathroom door.

I know I shouldn't feel this way.
I know I only have myself to blame.
It might be a whole lot easier,
if I didn't have to hear your name.

Wish your memory could let me be.
Let me move on,
let me be free.

I'm so tired.
Tired of feeling the shame.
Tired of remembering you.
Ready to quit the game.

i love everything about the poem except the bathroom door reference seems a bit random? if it wasnt for that sentence id say include this one in your book x

Thanks for your input Ally, do you have any idea what I should replace it with?

[Tinotenda Nyevedzanai]

Thanks Ally!

The second stanza, I like it. The analogy (I think that is the word I want to use?) of wounds being reopened more than a bathroom door...very creative, great play on words.

Thank you...

No matter how hard we hurt it's still better to wake up each morning with a chance to experience life. We can change things if we really want to but it all takes time :)

How do we NOT tie an other to all the things that mean ourselves? THAT is why ghostlets visit so often...and so far afield.

I have been there.

"My wounds have been reopened more than a bathroom door." This is probably my favorite line.

Emotions can be very tiring, so can certain people..
They play with you as though your feelings don't matter at all, and they don't even realize how much they've hurt you.
I truly adore this poem of yours, Ashley. I understand it, ya know?

[♥ Ari Skye ♥]

Yes. I thought a lot of people would. Thank you.
