I am Tired
I am tired because I went to bed at 11:30 PM and woke up at 4:13 am
I am tired because I can only dream about fires and people hacking off little pieces of me for so long.
I am tired because I have lived in a Family of Lies (Yes that was a Dad movie) for so long that the truth is never accepted without proof but the lie is.
I am tired of being told “I already heard it so I don’t want to talk about it with you.”
I am tired of being told “I don’t want to take sides”, and than they do.
I am tired of believing the best in people only to have them assume the worst about me.
I am tired of reaching out only to have my arm ripped off and my heart ripped out.
I am tired of defending myself when I don’t even know there is a battle waging.
I am tired that introspection and certainty are determined to be waffling and deception.
I am tired of hurting for those that seek only to hurt me
I am tired of every nice gesture being turned into an attack or a vengeful act.
I am tired of the disgust I see on Mike’s face because I care what others think about me
I don’t want to care about where some one lives
I don’t want to care about who someone visits
I don’t want to care who is sober this week.
I don’t want to care who has someone to help them during their recovery
I don’t want to care about houses burning
I don’t want to care about sister parties that can never have all the sisters because we are so hateful to one another
I don’t want to care because I don’t want to cry anymore
But I do care and I do cry and that just makes me tired all over again
