i'm just too tired.
emotions weigh more than pounds,
leaving no physical damage behind,
but never leaving me free,
until I cannot escape the silk strings
of my past.

i'm just too tired.
to think and feel and cry,
everyday my feet walk themselves,
while my mind pushes against
the pain and misery
of my past.

i'm just TOO tired.
but i cannot be lazy,
i cannot simply lie down,
too many strings tying me up
my muscles straining against the tied memories
of my past.

i'm just too tired.
i will refuse any offer,
accept any critique,
proffer any flaw,
avoid any question
of my past.
because i'm just too tired.
