Glaciers
We are all glaciers
 Stranded in freezing waters
 showing only a fraction of who we really are
 
 The rest of us hides
 underneath the surface 
 we hide out of exhaustion
 Know one knows us until the Titanic hits
 
 We all know that underneath every “I’m just tired”
 is more than just wanting closed eyes
 it’s more than wanting the warmth of a blanket
 and the comfort of dreams
 
 We’re tired of expecting rain even when we know there’s a drought
 we’re tired of wishing on stars
 when we know that that star is a million miles away
 and by the time we make a wish
 that star has exploded
 We’re tired of hoping for fairy tales
 when we know they’re just fiction
 
 I’m tired
 I’m tired of broken pinky promises that was once a treaty
 I’m tired of wanting to fly
 when I know I’m afraid of heights
 I’m tired of writing ballads for girls
 about their spiritual perfection
 when they fall for the guys who say
 roses are red violets are blue
 open your legs so I can f*** you
 
 But In the end I know that what tires us the most 
 is being tired.
