I'M TIRED

I'M TIRED
You must be this.
You must be that.
Trying to fit in everywhere
when I don’t even want to belong anywhere.
Living up to people’s expectations
until I forget my own purpose.
I have no dreams left —
I am only a thread of hope
holding myself together
for society.
They say I’m strong.
But I am allowed to be weak too…
somewhere along the way
I forgot that.
I just want to say —
I’m tired
of being strong.
