Tired

 From CorePoet

she is not angry.

she is tired.

tired of being the one who always understands,

but never the one who is understood. tired of

loving, but never being loved.

tired of holding on to promises that were never

kept.

tired of words with no actions, tired of feeling like

she doesn't matter. they never made her feel

important. she was never the first choice. she was

always the second option. she was always the

backup plan.

so she is not angry. she is just tired. tired of trying.

tired of waiting.

but sometimes,

she still hopes someone will choose her. someone

who will hold her without being asked. someone

who will love her without making her prove her

worth.
