Tired

Poetry. Theme: Tired. Alternating POV.

Written for the monthly prompt on SHFAFF: Tired.

---

I’m worn out by the job we do

Tired of the never-ending view

Of inhumanity and greed

The wickedness in every deed

The battered souls, the bruised

×××

I see you’re tired and worn out

I know fatigue will make you doubt

That anything we do will aid

Or smallest difference it will make

But, pal, it does. Don’t doubt

×××

I may be tired but I still know

The difference in this world is you

I’ll keep on on this crazy ride

As long as you are by my side

And follow where you go

×××

Get some rest, a change of scene

Recharge your heart, dream happy dreams

Tomorrow, we won’t fail to meet

The challenges out on the street

Because of this – we’re ‘me and thee’
