Tired

Tired

A Poem by ShappireRose

I'm tired of this world beating me
Tired of being everyone's punching bag
Tired of crying my eyes out till the life has left them 
Tired of the yelling
I'm tired of trying
Tired of having my flaws and mistakes thrown in my face as if they don't haunt my every move
Tired of knowing I am not good enough
Tired of knowing I will never be good enough
I'm tired of waiting
Tired of wondering if it does get better
Tired of people trying to claim my body
When was it ever anyone's but mine. 
I'm tired of Fighting
Tired of waking up and pretending
Tired of asking why
Tired of having no one understand the mental illness I cannot fight alone.
I'm tired of my house mates not getting I'm not like them
Tired of them not realizing I will never be what they want
Tired of not having a home or family to call my own
Tired of getting close to anyone in fear that they may hurt
Tired of not having the power to change what's occurring
I'm tired of being alone
Tired of trying to be better when nothing comes of it
Tired of the self hating
I'm tired of life
Tired of watching it all burn around me
Tired of feeling weak and worthless
But most of all I'm tired of living
Tired of living in a world were my actions, words, and body can never be mine
Tired of world were Mental illness is not "real"
Tired of a world were those who suffer suffer in silence.
Tired of a world were a woman's body is not her's
Tired of a world were a 16 yr old can be pregnant but god forbid she be a lesbian
Tired of a living in a world were parents disown their son for being gay
Tired of a world were words like f****t and gay get toss like a coin into a wishing well
I'm tired for those who keep fighting
Tired of the worry 
Tired of the sickness
Tired of society 
Who are you to decide is a person is good enough
Who are you to leave a child when they need you
Who are you to tell a woman what she can do with her body
I am tired of being choices 
Nobody
No one deserves to feel this tired.
