Tired

She told me I looked tired.
Hmmm

I did not want to hear that. I had not noticed the look of tired on my face when I was putting on makeup that morning but, just maybe the tired I feel inside is showing.

Tired, yes I am tired, but perhaps more weary than tired...

of hurting.
of taking on burdens I am not suppose to.
of the hypocrisy, mixed messages, pretending, and double standards.

I am tired of all the questions that I don't have an answer for.
I am tired of making up answers as the "I don't know", is getting old.

Most of all, I am tired of conditional love.
