I am tired

I am tired
I've heard you talk and am tired
You have broken me into thousands of pieces
But it's time to pick those pieces up
it's time I talk and you get tired too



I've heard you talk and am tired
Yesterday it was about the way I walked
Today it's about the way I talk
Why does being me bother you so much
I am who I am not who you want me to be
So give me some space to embrace and love myself



I've heard you talk and am tired
Your words have broken me down
But now, your words don't stand a chance against the love I have for myself.
