Versions of me: The tired me (p2)

a thousand wishes

I look up at the sky 

And well I'm wondering why 

Love is so mad when I want it so bad 

Why does it hate me? 

 

Starting at my own reflection 

Focused on the string of rejections 

Focused on my lack of protection from you 

 

But I get so tired 

That I don’t know  

If today is today or tomorrow 

I get so tired 

That I don’t know if I'm outside or in my bed 

 

 I might faint 

I might break 

I see warning labels 

And caution tape  

 

Protect me cause I'm not safe  

Protect me I'm taking it day to day  

The tired me, soon I'll be fired me 

Cause I get so damn tired 

What am I doing? 
Am I writing or just dancing along? 

Am I running or just completely still? 

Well I cant tell whats right or wrong

        It is one of the best ones i read up till now... I know how it feels when you are scared cause you love something too much.. when you are nearly at your limit and you you want someone to protect you from breaking... Every line hold something deep in this one.... This is how i viewed this poem.

          Thanks for reading and yes that's exactly it. All you want is to be protected and to be safe but 9 times out of 10 you aren't
