Not as Tired as You Think

[therealvash]

Someone asks, "How are you?"
I reply, "Tired"
They have no clue...
I'm not tired like someone who hasn't slept
But tired like someone who's done nothing but wept
Cried tears that stain the canvas of my mind
Yet held up a mask to stay hidden behind
I lament at myself for the rope i've laid,
The rope for the noose, the exicutioner is paid
I need to stop this funeral i've planned
I have no need to be killed by my own hand
I must stop stressing and counting the clock
For every second I waste, I add another lock
A lock on my soul
A lock on my heart
A lock on my mind
A lock on my hope

I'm Tired of this, so very Tired...
