Sleep

by Nathan Allen Hill on Monday, July 9, 2012 at 7:18am ·

Do you know
How tired one must be
To say I am to tired
To be me
I am to tired
To try and fly
I am to tired
To want to die
I am so tired
I just want to nap
I am so tired
Just don't give a crap
I'm really tired
So I'll close my eyes
I'm really tired
Of all my lies
Honestly tho
I am so tired
Truthfully tho
Of being tired
I am without rest
And wish to cry
I am without rest
And wish to die
I am so tired
Of listening to me
I am so very tired
I should never be
