WEARY

WEARY

All encompassing nubmness greys my world

Is seeping into every layer of me

Is hurting every muscle of my self

This pain that kisses my unwilling joints

While sadness is what every person thinks

Is all there is to what this feeling is

And shrugging off is easy and a choice

For sometimes human beings all are sad

This is no sadness, nor is it a choice

I do not choose to not participate

To not feel freedom or the happiness

That I so long for, that I know exists

I want to rest my weary head on you

To have you comfort me, say I will live

Say I will conquer this time, make it through

For after this I know that I belong
