TIRED

tired
by: allie merrick

i'm tired
and wish i were retired
from my mind
for i find
it races
and paces
endlessly
relentlessly seeking
aroused but not peaking
dissatisfied
feeling denied
with no end in sight
it just isn't right
to keep going this way
day after day
words tripping on top of each other
but there simply isn't another
way
to say
what can't be adequately expressed
only clumsily confessed
concluding now on paper in pen
tomorrow i'll begin again
as there's too much left restrained
too much kept contained
hence the reason i'm so tired
there's too much left desired
