Tired

I’m tired of failing

I’m tired of trying

Tired of caring, dreaming, screaming and crying

Tired of living, but scared of dying

I’m tired of chasing,

I’m tired of hiding.

Tired of aching, hurting, bruising and bleeding

Tired of losing, but I’m still fighting

I’m tired of feeling

I’m tired of existing

Tired of trusting, waiting, pushing and repeating

Tired of searching, but never finding

So, it’s time for growing,

It’s time for thriving.

Time for healing, loving, breathing and smiling

Time for accepting and no more denying

It’s time for winning

It’s time for enjoying

Time for thinking, discovering, learning and shining

Time for believing and no more lying

It’s time for changing,

It’s time for deciding.

Time for achieving, forgiving, resting and rebuilding

Time for strengthening and no more destroying

It’s time to do things my way,

Do those opinions matter anyway?
