So Tired
I’m tired,
So tired.
Someone please let me sleep.
I’ve been wandering for so long,
Traveling through this vast desert.
There’s nothing in sight
No oasis like they claim,
Just empty sand that
Rolls on and on,
Never ending.
The sun beats down on me,
The back of my neck gleams with sweat
And it rolls down my forehead in beads.
My legs are getting heavier with each step
And I walk on blistered feet,
But I can’t stop walking.
Each time I pause, another person tells me
To keep going.
They tell me that
There’s an oasis somewhere –
Or so they claim.
I keep walking and walking,
Wandering on and on.
It’s a never ending process,
A search for an oasis that doesn’t exist
And I’m getting tired.
So tired.
But I can’t stop here,
Because they say there’s an oasis
Just up ahead –
Or so they say.
