Tired Poems
Aftermath
by Eabha MacDhughaill
Titanium and glass
Too strong to break,
Too full of cracks
And shards
To hold together,
To feel the truth and shake
Perhaps I am the one
Who's monstrous inside
And hide it too well

Sleep Escapes Me
by Gonzalo Mendez
A tear lurks beyond
the ledge of my sleepless eyes
afraid to commit.
Never Quit
by Leigh Yah
"My parents raised a fighter, but this fighter is tired"
What? A fighter? and tired?
"No, I mean... there were times when it felt like things were too heavy for me to carry."
Okay, I got your point. But here's my say.
Whenever I feel down, I always keep this in mind:
Who am I to complain?
When I can't even pay them back the
sacrifices they've made for us to survive.

Dear YOU
by Leigh Yah
Dear you,
I heard you are tired
Exhausted
Emotions beginning to weigh on you.
Dear you,
I heard you're unhappy
Does your work make you feel unease?
Do they expect a lot?

Not my circus, not my monkeys
by Marra Makinen
God, I wish I cared
I so desperately
Wish that I cared about my friend’s breakup
Or my mum’s divorce
Or my not-much-longer friend’s sexual awakening
I feel terrible for not caring
I usually would
But right now
I lack the patience or time
