Tired

Tired

A Poem by kathy rivers
"

sometimes, I just wanna lay down...and never get up... I'm not lazy... I'm just tired of living a damaged existence, with a damaged heart & a damaged mind, in a gosh-darn damaged world!

"
Lately, I've just been so tired
Worn out by the troubles of every day
Damaged by the hurtful things
They don't know I've heard them say
The trials that I go through 
the struggles that I fight
The thoughts that haunt me in the day
And keep me up at night
It just seems so pointless 
to keep moving even though
It would be so much easier 
for me to just let go
Sometimes I even wonder 
Why I haven't surrendered
Maybe it's because that's not
How I want to be remembered
Although I will admit 
I've considered it before
How much easier It'd be
To not wake up anymore
To hear the darkness beckoning
and listen to its call
to open my arms
and just let myself fall
But then I remember
What I always seem to forget 
The reason why I just
Cannot give up yet
I haven't finished my mission
What I was put here to do
I haven't changed the world
Like I've always wanted to...

I hear you. I feel you. If only you knew. The world can only be changed one heart at a time. Each person has to make this a personal mission. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen any time soon. Love yourself. Live your life. Be happy. You are worthy and you deserve it.
