I am tired.

I am so tired,
And not the type that can be fixed with a nights sleep.
I am tired,
Bone tired and soul drained.
That sleep at night only accentuates the overwhelming need for rest the next day.
I am too tired,
Of the noise that surrounds me and of the silence that consumes me.
So tired that breathing is an effort and I wonder what it would be like to not exist ;
To have the world stand still as I sort myself out.
To not be this way,
Just for a moment to not feel…
