Tired

I'm tired of this life, I wish I could pick a new one.

I'm tired of high school, and the people I know, and the things I say to them

And the things I don't say, what I think, what I want

All the things I can't have because they're too big and I'm too small

What I don't have any control over, and the control I gave away

I'm tired of this routine, and you. I'm tired of you.

I'm tired of my phone, and the way I think about everything

The way I analyze people, the way I obsess

I'm tired of alway wanting to run away but not being able to

I'm tired of waiting, and I'm tired of being tired

Of craving, of yearning, of staring at things that don't change

And of the things that do change before I can stop them

I'm tired of pretending

And I'm tired of not being enough when I don't

I'm tired of lies, and love, and hate, and contradictions

Of ignorance and goodbyes

I'm tired of your stupid excuses, and your games, and the way you split hearts

And I'm tired because you don't admit it

And because I'm trapped

I'm tired of being trapped, stuck, surrounded, and neglected at the same time

And I'm tired of trying to explain it

I can relate. It's funny how the majority of people who write about being tired always have a line in there that says "I'm tired of being tired." I know I have one. :) It was good.

Love the way you ended this. i could totally feel all your frustration and i actually felt a little tired of what someone keeps wanting you to explain. you met someone with too much pride to look into the mirror to fix your hurt. you shoulnt have to explain.

A very well written and interesting poem. I think everyone feels this way at least once in their lifetime. Overall the poem was very good.
