I Am Tired

I am tired of fighting

I am tired of disrespect

I am tired of being pegged in a slot

And not allowed out

 

I am tired of hatred

I am tired of gossip

I am tired of turning on each other

And not trusting love

 

I am tired of hypocrisy

I am tired of entitlement

I am tired of judgemental friendship

And not being kind

 

We don’t build with hate

We build with love

 

We don’t build with gossip

We build with honesty

 

We don’t build with distrust

We build with community

 

But right now …

… I cannot build

… I am frustrated

… I am at my lowest

 

I am tired
