I'm Tired

I’m tired of waking up in the morning

with nothing to look forward to

I have no money, not a thing to do

every single day is just the same old routine.

 

I’m tired of looking at all the same things

If I drank some Red Bull would I grow wings?

So that I could fly away to a better place

where I would actually be embraced.

 

I’m tired of thinking these same thoughts

that always lurk in the back of my head

they creep to the surface, making me feel distraught

they tell me that I wish I was dead.

 

I’m tired of hating the way that I look

of pinching my stomach, wishing that I could cut it off

and looking in the mirror, not liking what I see

wanting to be anything else other than me.

 

But most of all, I’m tired of myself

I need to start thinking about my health

before all this hatred makes me rot inside

So I’m gonna dry all these tears that I have cried.

This is amazing -- make sure, for the sake of the corporate lawyers, that you credit the Red Bull line by quotes and a recognition --:)

That verse really got me. You're a really wonderful writer laura. This is brilliant, and emotive. I enjoyed it.
