Tired.

So tired.

I am tired.

I am so tried.

Like exhausted.

Physically. Mentally. Emotionally.

I feel like my brain has overloaded and shut down.

It just can’t take anymore and needs a break.

There’s no more left in me.

The spark, the drive. It’s all been used up.

I don’t want to do anything.

Just sit and stare.

Everything has taken its toll on me.

And all that’s left is an empty shell.

And irritable, frustrated, sad shell.

The mask remains, keeping face.

But inside the lights are off.

Emptiness behind my eyes.

Every now and then, the flame tries to relight.

But it’s quickly put out again.

I am so tired.
