I'm tired and I know I’m not the only one… most of us are tired too. It’s exhausting to live a life waking up each morning, work hard to earn money, and just survive every paycheck to settle all the bills. We were taught to accept that this is how life is supposed to be, and we would often be condemned if we wanted more. That “you should be grateful” despite the fact that you can’t fight what you’re truly feeling when you no longer find motivation and inspiration to do the things you were assigned to do.
It’s fascinating and saddening at the same time to realize that at this very same second, most of us have dreams that might never come true and we have to master the art of survival instead.
Then people who depend on us expect us to be strong or emotionless, without shedding a single tear when we just want to break down and pause to rest. We are forced to keep silent when everything is too overwhelming.
All I can do is to write these words, hoping that something will change. That maybe someday, I might find myself in a place that was meant for me to chase after the happiness I deserve. All I can do is to bleed through poetry, music, art, and the idea that there are people like the person reading this who share the same pain and struggles as I do.
I’m hoping that there’s more to this life that I am worthy of having.
