I'm so tired. Just...
Leave me alone.
I can't sleep. Have to stay awake
Because they need me to.
I'm so tired of being tired
That the thought of having to
Stay awake one more minute
Brings me to tears.
The exhaustion makes me nauseous
And makes my mind forgetful.
Can't eat.
Forgot to feed my brothers and sister.
Forgot to charge my phone.
Forgot to get my boss his coffee.
"Do this."
"Do that."
The demands keep building up
When all I want to do
Is curl up on the floor and stare at the wall
Till I finally pass out.
"Knock off the attitude,"
They say.
"Smile and be happy."
Yeah, that's great advice
When I'm barely functioning.
More like one more thing
That makes me want to scream.
I'm not angry. I'm just—
I'm so tired. Please, just...
Leave me alone.
Please?
