I’m tired

 I’m tired

I swear I really am 

I thought at least you’d understand 

and take my stand

Guess I was wrong

I’ll stop pretending that I’m strong 

I made it look like everything was hunky dory

Just because I didn’t  want you to worry 

Guess I was foolish 

Never thought that you’d be so selfish 

I tried explaining 

Never realised it wasn’t working 

Guess I was blind 

Thought you’d be a little more kind

I believed you meant what you were saying 

Took me a while to realise you were lying

Guess I trusted you 

Though all the while I knew

I wanted help, so I vented out

But you only thought  that I’d eventually figure out 

Guess I was never your priority 

Now you’ve given me that clarity

Just wanted to tell you that I’m tired

A thousand nights I’ve cried

I promise that I’ve tried 

But I swear I’m really tired
