PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m tired,

I wake up in the morning and I am still tired,

I want things to be different so bad,

I’m tired,

I see it,

Do you?

Its in my eyes,

There’s a smile but its there,

I see it,

This being different is getting to hard for me,

I just want to be normal,

Is that bad,

I just want someone to love me for me,

And not run away,

Is that bad?

I just want someone to think I am beautiful,

And not because they think that’s what I want to hear,

I want them to think so,

I’m tired,

And I am sorry,

Its not going away,

And I am sorry,

I just want it to go away,

So someone will think I am beautiful,

I am someone,

Not someone who uses a wheelchair,

So don’t run away,

I just want someone to say I am beautiful.
