Just tired.

When asked "what's wrong?"

My go to response has, and always will be, "just tired."

It's easier to respond with those two words than go in depth of how I truly feel and waste time and energy.

It's not like anyone will fully understand.

And instead of having how I feel be diminished, downplayed or not taken seriously I just spout out: just tired.

In a way, it's the truth; just a condensed version.

Just tired of being misunderstood.

Just tired of feeling like I'm being everything for everybody and that I have nothing left to give myself.

Just tired of feeling like no matter what or how much I do it will never be enough.

Just tired of feeling like no one really gets it doesn't even attempt to.

Just tired of people taking my down days personally when it has absolutely nothing to do with them.

Just tired of everyone else being able to have a bad day or mood but when I do it's the end of the world.

Just tired of trying my best to make sure everyone's good when most days I'm hanging on by a thread.

Just tired of doing for people who take and take and take yet never show appreciation.

Just... tired.
