Fatigué

*This is what happens when you’re stuck in traffic in the night and you still don’t feel tired. Thank you Lagos, for the inspiration!*

I’m tired of being so strong

I’m tired of being sure of everything

I’m tired of not being confused

I’m tired of getting over people faster than it takes me to love them

I’m tired of blinking twice in the mirror and getting rid of the pain

I’m tired of being everybody’s rock

I’m tired of being unmoved by gestures

I’m tired of knowing the right things to say

I’m tired of being unfazed by surprises

I’m tired of being able to see through every lie

I’m tired of knowing what to do all the time

I’m tired of being sure of how I feel

I’m tired of being resolute

I’m tired of being rational

I’m tired of not being tired

I’m tired of being focused

I’m tired of being wise

I’m tired of being mostly right

I’m tired of being the mature one

I’m tired of accepting things and moving on

I’m tired of not being proved wrong

I’m tired of not knowing how to cry

I’m tired of finding solutions all the time

I’m tired of people thinking I always write about me

I’m tired of people thinking I’m lying that this isn’t about me

I’m tired of people further confirming their speculations that this is about me

I’m tired of people thinking I’m out of lines and so I’m just stalling

Okay, I’m just kidding about the last 4 lines

But really, I’m tired of being so strong

Superman must feel like this after eating Eba.
