exhaustion

i am tired

not for a lack of rest,

no, i slept quite well last night

and i've had my coffee.

it's something deeper,

something,

inherently present,

in the fibers of my skin,

in my tendons,

in my eyes.

i am exhausted,

fatigued by life

by the noise

and the silence

the people and the

empty rooms,

the light and dark

by hope and despair.
