"What's wrong?"
They ask.
"Oh, just tired..."
Is all I can say.
Tired of not being good enough.
Tired of trying and not getting credit.
Tired of getting put down.
Tired of crying.
Tired of how people treat me.
Tired of insecurities.
Tired of being unconfident.
Tired of being shut down by everyone.
Tired of trying.
Tired of being me.
Tired of being tired.
Just tired.

"People cry, not because they are weak. It's because they have been strong for too long."

~Johnny Depp
