I am tired

I am tired.

I am tired of being sick,

of looking sad, and feeling my heart throb.

I am tired of waking up and not wanting to wake up.

Of waking up and wanting to move,

I am tired of wishing to have the life of a dog.

I am tired of wanting to go back to "that time in life"

where i don't feel pain every day.

and where sorrow never even crossed my mine.

I am tired of someone telling me that i need help.

of having someone look at me like I'm a wounded animal.

But most of all, i am tired of people looking at me like a time bomb.

And that i know they're secretly thinking, when is he going to do it. 

I don't want to feel the fake,

the fake happy, the fake joy.

but i am tired.

And i am sick.

Author's Note

I do not feel this way all the time but i dont want to feel depressed ever.

Depression takes a toll on the body as well as the mind. You really feel the pain. Well Written!

makes sense. I've been through a time very similar to this and for me this's very accurate and feels very familiar. Very creative and overall excellent written work
