TiredA Poem by kathy riverssometimes, 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... © 2019 kathy riversAuthor's Note
