Tired

this is about my relationship with Deb a.k.a my depression.

sometimes,

i just get so tired.

i lay in my bed with silent sobs

too tired to cry

i stare at them without a smile

too tired to try

when they ask if i’m okay, i shake my head

too tired to lie

when they offer their help

i decline

too tired to bother

too tired to care

about things

that would always be there.

when i finally lay to rest

with Deb by my side

she know that i’m tired

she knows i’m saying goodbye.

I like this. It reminds me of a poem I wrote when I was a teenager going through eating disorders. The poem is like a window to your mind where you can visually explain "why." The people who see you every day don't unerstand. They wonder why you seem down all the time. But this is a glimpse of the "why." You are too tired, so tired that you can't even care that you are tired, because thinking is even exhausting. Good job on this.
