Tired Poem by Rose Stern

I'm tired,
I'm just tired,
That's what I say when people ask
What's wrong,
They agree,
Say to take a nap,
But you see,
This tiredness is not something,
So easily fixed,
I cannot just sleep it away,
My mind is tired,
My heart is tired,
Tired of living,
And I wonder,
If I could just go away for a while,
Don't know if anyone,
Would even notice I'm gone,
If I could go away for a while,
Or maybe just forever.
