Analysis of Tired
Tired
Not the type of tired you think
I wish I could just blink and be okay.
Lie in a lake
I just need a break.
I’m mentally drained
I’m unwell
I know you can tell.
Please stop putting your shit on me
I’m only a teen.
I don’t deserve this
I miss not being tired
I miss being ok.
Let me sleep
Let me weep
In a mental kind of way.
