Limbic Words

I'm Just....... Tired..

It's funny

I'm so used to telling lies

That I can't tell the truth anymore

Now matter how many times I try

The words are stuck in my throat

I just nod and agree with everything

My opinion doesn't matter

I shove all of my feelings aside

And nod like an idiot

I smile like nothing is wrong

Like everything is perfect

I wonder

Who can see it

I pretend to get along with everyone

Even if I'm holding a knife at your back

And I'm about to strike

You turn and I smile and walk away

Those times

When I was so close to breaking

When I was about to cry and tell you the truth

I held it together

Secretly wiping away those tears

I said I was tired

And I really am

I'm tired of you

Tired of life

I'm just...... tired
