I'm so tired

TW! SH and SU!C!DE 

I’m so tired

Painting a face on every day

Just so I don't hate my reflection 

Triple guessing myself on what to wear

So men don’t label me as asking for harassment

I’m so tired of waking up every morning

I constantly question my purpose in life

If I was meant to be something great

Why has my life chained me to the bottom

Of the ocean

My lungs are filling with emptiness 

And my vision is constantly blurred,

Maybe that’s why I always miss the red flags.

My body reminds me of the ocean,

It's littered.

Scars from an ongoing battle are spread across my body

And it appears I’m on the losing side.

I’m so tired of fighting the silent voices

And resisting the urges

To act on my thoughts,

Of wondering what my veins look like 

Inside.

I’m so tired

Of wishing people would love me,

I must be foolish to wish someone

Would want more than what’s between my legs

I’m so tired

But I can’t sleep.

My thoughts race faster as the sun sets

The silent voices become louder

And the urges become stronger.

The only way I’m able to sleep

Is when my body

Collapses 

From exhaustion.

I’m so tired.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is a vent of just how mentally draining it is to deal with feeling this way constantly, It's much easier to write this way then to explain and I hope this reaches people who relate. Just know you aren't alone.

      Thank you! I'm glad you were able to relate, it's comforting to know none of us are truly alone in feeling this way. With time, and with effort, we will definitely be able to make it :))
