Just Tired

I look at you,
And see what I used to be.
I see the carefully construed web of almost,  
Between "there" and "gone,"
With everyone's perception of you is wrong.
And when,
Oh, that's wrong: I mean IF,
Someone recognizes your expression,
"Just tired," you will say.
Yes, I think.
Just tired of everyone,
And everything,
Tearing you down,
Building you to believe a lie.
Eating air,
Hiding behind your hair.
Just tired of be a walking dead,
A human travesty,
Having everyone believe you to be a mistake.
So, yes.
"Just tired" is right.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
