Tired

I finally broke down today

Tears stained my skin

Eyes turned Red

Itchy, bloodshot Red

Breathing through my nose made impossible

And I am so very tired

Tired of holding it in

Tired of pretending I’m okay

Tired of being strong so others don’t have too

Tired of not being enough

Tired of moving on

Tired of marching on

Tired of breathing

Tired of talking

Tired of crying

Tired of being Tired

But this is the life

The life I was born into

The life that I lead

The life that I was given

The life that means so much to my mother

To my family

But not so much to me

But it’s a life that I will keep on living

I will keep moving on

Marching on

Breathing on

Crying on

It’s a life that is mine

Tired and all
