I Could Not Have Said It Any Better!

I read the following from a blog at http://roostercalls.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-03-01T19%3A55%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=7&reverse-paginate=true and felt like someone was looking inside of me. Here is what it said:

i'm tired



tired tired tired


i'm thirty different kinds of tired


and i'm tired of being tired


when i wake up, i am


when i go to sleep, i am


while i'm sleeping i'm tired


but i'm never sleeping


bodies can't breathe on this little sleep


food can't digest


synapses can't snap


i've been tired since i can't remember when


i'm tired like cliches


i'm tired like your grandma's mother


i'm tired like old socks


i'm the tired you're weary of hearing and seeing


i've gotten a year's worth of sleep in five long years


and i need a year's worth of sleep tonight to make it through another endless day tomorrow, and that seems unlikely


i'm older than i am,


don't recognize myself sometimes


tired of myself, tired of telling it, of this, of it


i'm tired enough that sometimes i can't sleep because, well, you know.


i close my eyes and fish flop and wonder why i am awake awaiting being awakened which makes no sense


and trying to sleep i wonder if the president gets this tired


and worry i'm not safe for driving this tired


and contemplate what if your age reflected your sleep, say based on a normal person's eight hour needs,


and what if you did the math and found out i'm a hundred and seventy four

I need a nap!
