Tired or mid-life-crisis (written by CT)
I am so tired of all of this
and I am scared to become someone I don’t want to be
I am so tired to pretend to be happy
wear a mask all the time.
You are strong they say
but I’m not and I know it.
I am not perfect
and I don’t want to be
I am so tired to be who I am
but I can’t muster the strength to change
I changed so much already
why can’t I just get happy?
Is it to late to get a life
I want to break out
leave all this behind
I feel trapped
suffocating
when everybody tells me how lucky I am
I can’t see it
maybe I’m too selfish
I feel so old and tired inside
outside I am young and keeping up walls and masks
That woman staring at me through the mirror – that’s not me
I want to kick and scream
but it wouldn’t change a thing anyway
I am tired of my moods and of my low self-esteem
I know my flaws, I know them very-well
it should be a perfect day to make dreams come true
but now it is too late
I am caged and I can’t fly
real life is too interfering
there are to much responsibilities
I need someone to kiss me all good
and today’s a day I miss my old life
I miss the woman that I could be
hiding behind my wall
cowering in the far corner of my mind
not daring to take a quick look at reality
I’m falling back into my old patterns
not speaking, just swallowing
I know where this all will lead
when does it stop??
I am too tired to think
too tired to write
not tired enough to sleep
I know the fault lies with me
maybe it’s just an early mid-life-crisis?!
