Today was more than I could handle

Today I am tired of being married
Today I am tired of being responsible for everything
Today I am tired of yelling at kids who don't listen
Today I am tired of talking to people who don't care to hear what I say
Today I am tired of crying alone
Today I am tired of feeling all alone
Today I am tired of my heart breaking
Today I am tired of no one understanding me
Today I am tired of not ever being really loved
Today I am tired of not being accepted for who I am
Today I am tired of never having any time alone
Today I am tired of the voices in my head
Today I am tired of being a better friend to everyone than they are to me
Today I am tired of always giving up on myself
Today I am tired of having fears
Today I am tired of people taking all I have to give and giving nothing back
Today I am tired of you not being there for me
Today I am tired of you not caring how much I need you
Today I am tired of you loosing faith in me
Today I am tired of being used
Today I am tired of being abused
Today I am tired of knowing I could do better
Today I am tired of knowing I am worth more
Today I am tired of feeling hopeless
Today I am tired of feeling helpless
Today I am tired of feeling life offers nothing but despair
Today I am tired of allowing myself to feel these ways
And among all other things
Today I am tired of life and being alive

Thank God for tomorrow and the belief that I CAN handle tomorrow !

Loved in red

I was hoping to see this as your last line
"Starting tomorrow I will change just one thing to be happier."

I think we all have this list unfortunately but we control have to it or it will surely try to control us.
