I Am Tired... Poem by Kwenadi Gaaje

All i ever wanted was and is to be happy.
Free from ache and doubt.
But then I'm dreadfully living a life filled with affliction.
Its hard but each day i wake up with a hope of a new chapter where peace is the food that i eat.
Praying for a better day?
Will there be one?

I have portrayed a picture of a maidenwho's at peace and always cracking in laughter,thus now i fail to recognise the inner soul i have hid for years.
I don't know her, the maiden i have become.

Looking at myself in the mirror each time i see tearful eyes of a girl who's trying so hard to be okay.
I see a hopeless soul who's in dire need of peace.
She's bleeding yet! Smiling.
She's a loner wrapped up in a "All is well with me"phrase.
Although i smile everyday know I'm hiding an affliction that cuts deep.

I AM TIRED.
