Too Young To Be This Tired
Too young to be this tired.
This mouth for hire
With a body that will soon expire
Too young for this.
The mind aches
And the body is stiff
It’s unfair
I am too young for this.
The weight of the world
Anchoring the mind
In the eye of the storm
While the captain feels like taking another nap
Too young for this.
The low back cracks
And the neck snaps
Just to feel some relief
In the joints that don’t get smoked
Too young to be this tired.
Does anyone else
Always feel drained?
And sleep is the only cure
But sleep
Is too close to death?
I’m just too young to be this tired.
I am only 29
Too young to get lost in the mind
Too old to continue to waste time
The eyes sink-in
And start to close
Too young for this.
These muscles shouldn’t hurt this much.
I haven’t been through that much
That’s probably true
But I cannot honestly say
I know my capacity to deceive myself
But it’d be unfair to the body
When all I did was believe in myself
I am too tired for this.
Too young to feel this way
I should see a chiropractor
Or a Doctor
When your bed is your best friend
You know somethings gotta give soon
I am just
Too young
To be this tired
A mouth for hire
With a body that will soon expire.
