Tired of life
In times of Covid and in normal times,
I am tired of life, so tired of it all.
The boredom and the aloneness,
The wish to be somewhere else,
Anywhere, really but not here.
Then I think and decide,
Here it is not so bad after all.
I am so tired of life
Help me to move on,
Help to fly again,
Help me to see colours and help me
Understand that this life is all I have
And ever will have. Nothing will ever
Be more me and myself
But that short time on this earth
No before and no after
And slowly I realise,
That after, there will be complete isolation.
Now it only is a choice
I rush and hide in full sight
And am so tired of it
So tired of it all
And everything but so what
Somehow, I will struggle through,
And life will be kinder again
But I am so tired of life
And the every day
And I need a break and need to get away
Somewhere else not necessarily new
Just get away from the tiredness of it all.
