I am tired of
Waking up in the morning
Getting out of the bed
Brushing my teeth
Putting on clothes
I am tired of
Having to think of what to eat
Cooking that
Not being able to eat whatever i want
Constantly thinking about food
I am tired of
Stretching
Dusting
Moving
Resting
I am tired of
construction noise
Potholes
Vehicles
Not having a space to walk
I am tired of
Figuring out my parents moods
Seeing my mother take up so many responsibility
My father all the space
Feeling like i should to more
I am tired of
Doom scrolling on Instagram
Restricting how much i go out
Sitting quietly in my room
Rationing my energy and fun
I am tired of
Being forced to rest
The guilt that comes with it
Needing care
Caregiving
I am tired of
Having to explain what a chronic illness is
That it is not all in my head
Always questioning
If I am really tired
