PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am tired of swallowing fire

And calling it discipline

Tired of stitching my mouth shut

So the room stays comfortable

I am tired of shutting my eyes

So the world doesn't see me

I'm tired of trying to hide

It's time to be the real me

I am tired of being tired

From carrying this weight alone

Instead, I'll walk through fire

And tell my truths within a poem

I won't hide myself anymore

Or deny the feelings that I feel

Even if it means I'm closing doors

I know what it takes to heal

I'm tired swallowing fire

It leaves a burn inside my throat

Tired of stitching my mouth shut

Just so that you can cope
