i’m just tired // ariel abernathy

Maybe it’s just how my brain is wired. I wish it didn’t have to be this way.

“Don’t worry, I’m just tired”

Dragged by the day feeling completely uninspired. know the world has color but my eyes only see grey. Maybe it’s just how my brain is wired.

My only motivation is to avoid being red. what should I say when they ask if I’m okay?

“Don’t worry, I’m just tired”

My mind desires to be admired. Fighting for the right things to say. Maybe it’s just how my brain is wired.

I could complete all the tasks my life required. Just like Superwoman saving the day.

“Don’t worry, I’m just tired”

What if my time has expired. One can only hope and pray. Maybe it’s just how my brain is wired.

“Don’t worry, I’m just tired”

I don’t recognize my friends anymore they look like my enemies lines blur faces warp I feel nothing I like it that way shadows take form and prey on the lonely, the hurt, and the lost help is hopeless, hope is helpless no one has the words to ask for either ickering lights hide in dark corners and wonder who will care when they burn out the brightest lights are snu ed out the loudest shouts go silent no one feels anything anymore and everyone wonders how could this have happened but I can’t believe we’re all so surprised
