My Other Side

Tired

At the end of the day,

I realized,

for the first time in my life,

That I was actually tired,

Really tired,

I was strong since the day I was born,

I thought I needed no one,

But I was wrong,

I wanted someone to see the pain behind my laughter,

I wanted someone to worry about me,

I wanted someone to say

'You have my shoulder to cry on, and I'll be the tissue whipping off your tears'

I wanted someone to hug when I seem to be down,

I wanted someone to actually feel that I was down,

I wanted someone to care the way I care for others,

I wanted someone by myside,

But no one's here,

And it's my fault convincing others I was fine.
