I'm Tired
I'm tired.
Tired of being lonely,
tired of being wrong,
and stupid,
and hurt.
I'm tired of rejection.
I'm tired of sitting out
one dance after another.
I'm tired of all the missed opportunities,
the broken promises,
the cancelled dates.
I'm tired of being 'comfortable',
of being a 'good friend'.
And I'm really, really tired
of seeing the stupid, the cheap,
the tawdry, the shallow,
the petty, the mean and the flat out low
getting all the love,
all the praise,
all the attention,
all the success.
I'm tired of life,
and most of all,
I'm tired of myself.
