    I'm Tired
    So here I am crying in my room
    because I'm never good enough
    and I'm tired of not measuring up.

    So here I am wishing that you
    would take the time to understand
    I cannot do all that you demand.

    So here I am praying to God
    that I can stop letting you down
    and I'm tired of trying not to drown.

    So here I am yelling at you
    because all you do is yell at me
    and why do I try if we only disagree?

    So here I am writing out this poem
    and I wish it would start a riot
    because I'm tired of being quiet.

    I feel exactly where you are coming from. The best poems come from the feelings that we hide.

    I liked this, but remember, don't rhyme because you feel you need to. You caught me with your first verse.(close but not really a rhyme.)2nd verse could end with-- and see me for who I really am. just a thought. TS

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
