I'm Tired

I'm tired of adjusting
Just to fit in
Tired of aligning to meet up
Tired of living a debased life
Where basic are out of reach
And all I need eludes me

I'm tired of 'formula 0-1-0'
Tired of watching everything
Hit the rooftop
And I helplessly watch
Tired of feeling my stomach
Rumbling and keeping me awake

I'm tired of window shopping
Because I can't afford nothing
And everything out of reach
Tired of roaming like a vagabond
And returning with my pocket
Completely empty

Tired of keeping my head up
And existing without impact
Tired of being enslaved
In the midst of abundance
Where I'm surrounded by
Stupendous wealth yet wretched

I'm tired of trying to improvise all
So I can survive
Tired of managing and living
A peasant life in the midst of plenty
I'm so tired and stressed out
Fade up and about giving up

I'm tired!
