Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Tired

I feel like I'm walking on eggshells!

Afraid....

Afraid that if I say the wrong thing,

act the wrong way, respond in a way that is opposing to you..

That I'll ruin your imperfect rhythm

I AM TIRED!

 

Why can't I be myself?

Am I too strong minded?

Am I demanding? 

Is it even me?

What is it that makes it so easy for you to turn the other cheek?

I AM TIRED!

 

It is no one's fault but mine,

Making the decisions to keep me safe

But safe is not happy

Isn't that what we truly want?

Happiness, peace, and love

I am tired.

 

You are no longer a reflection of me

Maybe in the beginning, but not now

I think I've learned my lesson,

but maybe there's more

I am..

 

This time will soon expire,

Soon I will be free!

These lessons may very well be worth it.

Conditioned.

It will all be over soon,

I am...

I am not sure whether you are talking too yourself or somebody else here but either way it works really well.
A great poem
