The Scars on Our Hearts
Write a poem which could have this as the title.
tired
I’m tired of this
tired of wondering
if I’m making it all up in my head
if it’s just my imagination running wild
tired of crying
over you
over the past
over things that don’t matter
over things that matter too much
tired of thinking
and overthinking
about you and how it all ended up
tired of asking myself
if you ever even cared
or if I was just desperate
if I was wrong about everything
wanting to feel wanted so badly
that I made it all up in my head
tired of worrying
it’s all going to happen again
no one will ever want me
not like that
tired of not knowing
if I’m just going crazy
if I was wrong about you
wrong about everything
wrong about it this time, too
tired of pretending
I don’t notice what I see
or maybe it’s just me
maybe I’m the one that’s crazy
tired of feeling
like I’m going insane
like there’s something wrong with me
because I don’t know what’s happening
I don’t know why it’s happening
I just don’t know
I’m tired
my head hurts whenever I think about it
I feel like crying
whenever I see your face
or hear your name
I wish you knew what you did to me
even after this long
I still care so much
I’m tired of caring so much
when you don’t even care at all
you never did
