I’m tired
I’m tired of trying so hard
I’m tired of giving a shit
I’m tired of being broke
I’m tired of failing
I’m tired of being in limbo
I’m tired of feeling bad…sad…less than
On Friday
I turn 62 years of age
And here I am trying (tiredly)
To start over yet again
I’m tired of following the rules
I’m tired of being nice
I’m tired of fighting to be normal
I’m tired of hope
I’m tired of refusal
I’m tired of vertigo
I’m tired of being on the verge of tears
I’m tired of having no more options
I want to scream and holler and rail against the gods
But mostly I’m too tired
