Tedious

by Yakari Gabriel   Feb 11, 2014


You can tell I'm doing bad, I'm awake at 3 am again for the third time this week.

I'm hurt, I'm tired of walking with my heart in my throat. I'm tired of walking on eggshells

Here I am on my knees again,
asking a God I struggle to believe in
to help me, to wash with his mercy
the smell of failure out my life.

Does he even love me?
with all the jobs I fail at keeping, and all the right things I fail at doing
and all the bad boys I let kiss me.
even if they don't make me feel anything

am I this vulnerable? why does the
cruelty of strangers still come as a shock to me. Wasn't I taught to expect that? or have I forgotten that too?

cause I'm so good, I'm soooo good at forgetting what it was that helped me get ahead, I'm sooo good at beating myself up over the unnecessary

There's a hell inside of me

I'm burning up

I'm burning out

I'm burning down
