Tired

Tired
by Beverly P.

Tired of fighting constant battles

Tired of never having quite enough

Tired of not having my "old life" back

Tired of people not understanding but saying they do

Tired of being expected to be "one of the herd".... it's not my style

Tired of being lost instead of found

Tired of giving my all.... but not getting it ALL back

Tired of being taken for granted

Tired of being alone too often but not finding the one person who understands giving me space

Tired of trying to be "normal" for a day, then paying for it with pain for two

Tired of constantly butting heads with "the system".... I'm beginning to understand those crazy anarchists

Tired of being Tired!

I'm hearing you. Life is unfair and one sided, and when we accept that, we can start to happy, but tired. Nice piece.

I thought it was a feeling so many of us can relate to. I think the word fits perfectly... you aren't necessarily beaten down... not yet... but you're TIRED!

God bless you dear friend! I hope that you NEVER feel alone. Even though we can't physically see each other, know that you are not alone, ever. Hang in there. What helps me when I am just too tired is humor. I watch some of my most favorite funny movies and just for THAT moment, I am okay. You are loved! Chelsea in FL
