Tired

I’m tired
Curled into my own place
Of covering darkness.
Trying to hide from all
The frustration, pain.. helplessness
I’m tired
I wish to sleep sometimes
Get lost in the darkness
To forget the fighting
That never seem to go away
I’m tired
Of the let downs joy brings
Of the beatings and kicks
That get dealt
With ever dim ray of hope.
I’m tired
Of thinking and expecting
The happy endings
Of letting myself believe
That just once, things will work
I’m tired
Of the helplessness
Of the box that closes in
Of peoples lies, dishonest truths
Of letting myself believe them
I’m tired
Of everything existing
Of all the bad
And even all the good
It all leads back to my darkness
I’m just tired.


This is something that just came out.I’m fine, no need to worry. I’ll be ok, there really isn’t any other choice.

Great write, Tara.  One I can relate much to, at times.

Tired is a term of expansion. I'm afraid it never ends, enjoyed the write.

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart

Heart-hugs Tara and prayers to you and your mom for better days ahead. My grandma used to say..."If you are doing your best...then no one can ask for any more from you. Remember to make sure you dont ask too much of yourself."
Take care of you sweetie...

Tara....young lady....and I am qualified to
call you that...  IT is OK to feel all of
those feelings...I do believe you are in
fact feeling some of them....Shoot...I have
those days too....trying to raise three
children right now...makes me tired...
and have some of those same thoughts...

Better to say it ...  than just let it sit..

Good expression of feelings,  keep goin'!

I think that this is the only 'darker' poem that I've read by you.  I relate to each and ever word, more than you know.  This is a powerful emote!

Take care and hugs,

rosepetals25 - I reach out to you, as I know how you feel. I'm also very tired inside. Perhaps soon, things will get better. The best to you...

I can very much relate to this one.  You'll get through it in time.

Tara, I always say that each case is it's own type of hell...and although I relate, I can never know of your unique experiences or sorrow.
You know how to reach me, you have my email and hopefully I'll be on msn if ever you need me.

Take care of you, and hugs!
