i'm tired

i'm tired.

i wanna' be fired.
who hired
me
for this job
anyway.
what dog
said
this was my day
ta' pay.

caregivers not
my occupation.
never thought
this situation.
never bought
this realization.

oh, i care.
that's why i'm there
where
i be.
see.
ain't no body
but me.

but,
i'm tired.

worn out.
wanna' shout.
wanna' pout.
without.
cry. sigh.
don't wanna' feel
'em die.
don't wanna' know
the why.
don't wanna' say
goodbye.
just wanna' try.

but,
i'm tired.

can't eat.
can't sleep.
can't weep.
can't miss a beat.
ain't no treat.
ain't no re-treat.
ain't neat.
dead on my feet.

i'm tired.

i'm wired.

i'm mired.

deep.

need sleep.

i'm tired.
