I'm Tired
by Alisa JsI am next to giving up
More than I've ever been
More than I can really say
Everything, it seems to turn to dust
Or misbegotten bullshit,
Missed perceptions
Wrong intentions
I've really had enough
And can't take this strain
Not another moment ...
I want to run away
And hide
But where?
No clue
Just need to get away,
Run inside
I really can't stand another minute
Of this endless agony
That perpetuates
Endlessly ...
If it weren't for my cats
Java and Mocha
Who depend on me
For everything,
I'm not sure what I would do
Just lay down and stop
E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!
What's happened here?
I've missed that turn
That leads to happy ever after,
This road I'm on
Is only misery
No matter where I step or try to seek
For other ways
Back to that time,
Back to that place
When life was a simpler game
A game to play
If one can call it that,
Is life just a game after all?
If that's the case, then I'm as good as dead
Because I didn't take that course,
Now I fall
And no one hears,
No one cares
Its up to me
And I'm so very tired....

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/27/07 at 03:53 PM In some ways I feel as though you wrote this poem for me, and by the mood of a lot of others these days for them too. By mentioning your cats, I like how you point out that others depend on us, and those relationships provide an anchor to comfort and prevent us from doing something we will regret later. Like you though I am so very tired of the whole thing. :o) |
