"I'm tired"
This seems to the words that my mind
Chants.
On repeat.
Lately,
It's all I can think about
Focus on.
How tired I feel
Lack of sleep
Overthinking
Overplanning
Hyper vigilant
But that doesn't make me
As tired as
The lack of love does
The lack of care
that I get in return.
Call me selfish.
Or maybe just human.
But all I want now is to go somewhere
far away, preferably
Away from the reality of life
And rest.
And yet, I can't seem to
find the time.
Even when I have nothing to do
Heh.
There's never nothing to do,
said a wise man to me once.
Will I only then
rest when I'm dead?
If so,
then please, oh God
dear, God,
take me.
For it's
the eternal slumber
I crave
More than all else.
Please.

I feel this one very deeply. My very thoughts & words in poetic form. Why are you reading my mind, my friend?
Well written and heartbreaking, exhaustion can easily be so overwhelming. Hope you get a chance to get some rest!
Fatigue. Fatigue from the world and living in the chaos of the world or work or nutty relationships wears people out. Hope you are okay. 🤗
I'm so sorry you feel this way 🥺 I hope your okay. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I love this🖤 I’ve been craving to go off somewhere for awhile… a house on the beach… a cottage in the woods… something to escape and reset!
