I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired.
I don't want to be anything but horizontal,
yet I want to do everything all at once.
I want to read books, and cook, and workout and drive
but I'm so tired. I'm tired. I'm tired.
What is this?
Is this getting old? But I'm only 35.
People say I'm young, but it might as well at the middle of my life.
Or I might die tomorrow or in 8 years,
you never know.
There's so much to do and see, I can't stop
but oh, I just want to be stretched out on the floor.
I want to sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Forever.
My eyes are closing down, I'm drifting away.
But why am I still here, typing this
instead of going to sleep because I'm tired. I'm tired.
I'm so freaking tired.

young blood, baby fat we're all dead in the inside lost in solitude ~~~ This haiku is one of the few surviving ones I wrote when I first started to write poetry. (The others got lost on floppy disks and notebooks my mum threw out.) I used to give them numbers as titles, this was the 4th I've ever written.

Art is My Meditation
art is a meditation you feel cleaned and anchored well with eyes open wide. Meditation has earned recognition as a mindfulness tool. It does not work for me. But I find spiritual cleansing and deep focusing with my creativity. Art is my meditation.

Gurl, I'm 35 too and this was soooo relatable! 35 feels like the new 50 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think we all go through times that we feel like we are in a rut and just plain tired of the same routine. I just went through a time like this, and now I am rearranging my bedroom and changing small things around. Going to start writing and reading more to share. Good job.
I know that feeling! This is so relatable.
Can I relate to this...I sure pay for it in the morning. I love afternoon naps if I can get them Great
Lol...did we do a mindswap thing? This reads like my mind, 100% of the time. Like and I'm 45...so even closer to death haha. It made me laugh, just cos I feel seen. I hate sleep though, like with a passion, I appreciate rest, but for me sleep means night terrors, nightmares etc. Thank you for sharing this and just keep going - Imola The Poet. Can I ask something really stupid - is Imola pronounced as it's written - like Im-oh-la? Sorry. ha. Also.. how do you pronounce Toth? Is it Toth as written or is there an interesting pronunciation. Anyway, loved your poem as always, great insight and relatable and sorry you feel so tired and so harrassed by life but also not harrassed! :)
