I'm Tired
By: Alicia J. Buckingham
I'm Tired
Of the boys
Not asking me to dance

I'm Tired
Of the girls
Talking about me

I'm Tired
Of the teachers
Never calling on me

I'm Tired
Of everyone
Laughing at me

I'm Tired
Of the elders
Underestimating me

I'm Tired
Of the younger generation
Disrespecting me

I'm Tired
Of strangers judging me
Before getting to know me

I'm Tired
Of the preps
Thinking they're better than me

I'm Tired
Of love
Never attacking me

I'm Tired
Of being an outcast
For it's no fun

I'm Tired
Of asking questions
But never getting the answers

I'm Tired
Of I love you
Never being said to me

I'm Tired
Of not having someone
To hold and kiss

I'm Tired
Of attention
Never coming my way

I'm Tired
Of people picking on me
For they do the same things I do

I'm Tired
Of people
Not looking into my heart

I'm Tired
Of the hate
That has surrounded me

I'm Tired
Of my family
Not trusting me

I'm Tired
Of the wall
That's isolating me

I'm Tired
Of not being able
To try a new relationship

I'm Tired
Of wanting love
But never receiving it

I'm Tired
Of people blaming me
For things that I wasn't involved in

I'm Tired
Of this place
Because I never get away

I'm Tired
Of the love
That other people have

I'm Tired
Of fantasies and dreams
That never come true

I'm Tired
Of my heart
Being hurt by words

I'm Tired
Of couples
Always holding hands

I'm Tired
Of the world
Shutting me out

I'm Tired
Of the pain
Everyone causes me

I'm Tired
Of it hurting
So much inside

I'm Tired
Of the memories
That cause me to cry

I'm Tired
Of always being sad
Because it causes depression

I'm Tired
Of the days
That goes by so slow

I'm Tired
Of asking for help
And being ignored

I'm Tired
Of being
Someone I'm not

I'm Tired
Of life
Being so unfair

I'm Tired
Of being left
Out in the cold

I'm Tired
Of my heart
Being battered and bruised

I'm Tired
Of the false
Being turned into truth

I'm Tired
Of forgiving
But not forgetting

I'm Tired
Of faith
For I don't have it

I'm Tired
Of being forgotten
When I'm with people

I'm Tired
Of the emptiness
I feel

I'm Tired
Of the hole in my heart
That can't be filled

I'm Tired
Of the feelings
That takes over me

I'm Tired
Of the sorrow
That I feel day in and day out

I'm Tired
Of being apart
From the one I love the most

I'm Tired
Of the promises
That aren't kept

I'm Tired
Of my broken heart
That hasn't been mended

I'm Tired
Of believing in things
That aren't real

I'm Tired
Of losing things
After having them for so long

I'm Tired
Of death
Stealing my family

I'm Tired
Of the tears
That fall like rain

I'm Tired
Of people
Not listening to what I have to say

I'm Tired
Of learning
For my brain feels like mush

I'm Tired
Of the negative thoughts
That fill my mind

I'm Tired
Of trying to find
The positive thoughts

But most of all

I'm Tired
Of life
Getting the best of me
