Exhausted
May 26, 2010
I’m exhausted
Exhausted of keeping up this façade,
Of trying to be happy
When I know I’m not
Tired of putting up a smile
When I only want to frown
I’m sick of forcing myself to laugh
When I actually feel like sobbing
I’m weary of trying to hide my tears
Crying in a bathroom, hoping no one hears
How long will this go on
Does this sorrowful cycle have no end?
