Tired Poems
Sleep Escapes Me
by Gonzalo Mendez
A tear lurks beyond
the ledge of my sleepless eyes
afraid to commit.
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?

Something New
by Frangipani Rhett
Give me something to try for
Give me something new
I'm so bored of the old stuff
I'm so sick of you
I liked you better before you got old
I wish I wasn't this way
But I'm tired of feeling the same old
Same old type of way

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

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.

I’m tired
by Alyssa dewey
I don't want to feel this way
I shouldn’t have to feel this way
like I cant walk down a hallway anymore
like I cant go out in public without hanging on to the hand of another
like i want to disappear
I feel tired
of always having to care
having to do certain things
having to cover my skin
my bruises

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
