Tired And Lonely Poem by Shelby Burnside

tired and lonely
starting to cry.
trying to wish upon a shooting star
that never passes by.
and i wonder-
will you ever speak my name
and i wonder-
if you'll ever feel the same.

tired and lonely
of living in this lie.
tired of crying every single night
and i'm lonely
talking to the stars
but they mock me
rubbing in the bruises
of my past.

and i have never really felt
the feeling that i wish for.
and i have never really felt
alive.

tired and lonely
of living in this lie.
tired of crying every single night
and i'm lonely
talking to the stars
but they mock me
rubbing in the bruises
of my past.

and crying is showing weakness
that i'm not strong enough to share.
and crying doesnt help
if theres no one there who cares.

i'm tired of living in this lie
and i'm lonely but i refuse to cry.
wishing and praying never help
my pain
and sometimes i wonder
if theres any easier way to release.

right now.
this knife is in my hand
and right now.
i know i'm in command.
no tears are flowing freely.
i've held them deep inside.
and those previous tears i've cried
they're the past.

i'll write you this note.
explaining myself
and in it will say
'no more. the end'
