I am Tired:
of being angry about houses
I don't have the tools to rebuild.
I'm tired of waiting for flowers
to arrive. Tired of looking
over shoulders not my own.
Tired of counting and counting,
and counting things I need to be
counting. Tired of math
and of language, tired of all
the things I don't know. Tired
of not sleeping enough
and of sleeping too much.
Tired of sleeping around. Tired
of Quit Playing Around And Get
Back To Work. Tired of
Just Because You Write A Thing
Doesn't Make It True.
Tired of Mr Right Just Kidding Mr
Wrong All Along. Tired of politics
and people tired of breathing air.
Tired of ain't got what I need, tired
of cain't get what I want. Tired
of wanting and needing at all.
Tired of pay this and buy that and earn
earn earn tired of disparity
tired of depression and anxiety
tired
of exhaustion
tired of writing
this poem.
