I often say I'm tired
But I am not in need of sleep
Peace is the feeling that is required
To give my mind energy, it gets to keep

But peace isn't something I get to choose

My mind is haunted by words unspoken
They remind me of the things I can lose
And the parts of my past that left me broken

Maybe my mind will never be at peace
Maybe the tired will never go away
Maybe the voices will never decrease
Maybe I am unable to ever feel ok
