"I'm tired"
This seems to the words that my mind
Chants.
On repeat.
Lately,
It's all I can think about
Focus on.
How tired I feel
Lack of sleep
Overthinking
Overplanning
Hyper vigilant
But that doesn't make me
As tired as
The lack of love does
The lack of care
that I get in return.
Call me selfish.
Or maybe just human.
But all I want now is to go somewhere
far away, preferably
Away from the reality of life
And rest.
And yet, I can't seem to
find the time.
Even when I have nothing to do
Heh.
There's never nothing to do,
said a wise man to me once.
Will I only then
rest when I'm dead?
If so,
then please, oh God
dear, God,
take me.
For it's
the eternal slumber
I crave
More than all else.
Please.

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.

I feel this one very deeply. My very thoughts & words in poetic form. Why are you reading my mind, my friend?
Well written and heartbreaking, exhaustion can easily be so overwhelming. Hope you get a chance to get some rest!
Fatigue. Fatigue from the world and living in the chaos of the world or work or nutty relationships wears people out. Hope you are okay. 🤗
I'm so sorry you feel this way 🥺 I hope your okay. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I love this🖤 I’ve been craving to go off somewhere for awhile… a house on the beach… a cottage in the woods… something to escape and reset!
