I’m tired of life, <br /> with it’s twists and turns. <br />I’m tired of feelings, <br /> that ache and burn. <br />I’m tired of change, <br /> unexpected and unwanted. <br />I’m tired of struggle, <br /> so vain and unproductive. <br /> <br />I’m weary of thoughts, <br /> that fog and tangle. <br />I’m weary of burdens, <br /> only shadows and mist. <br />I’m weary of weakness, <br /> ever present, ever stinging. <br />I’m weary of worry, <br /> so pointless, so unneeded. <br /> <br />I greatly need rest, <br /> so peaceful and so calm. <br />I greatly need focus, <br /> an even better balm. <br />I greatly need hope, <br /> dawn for mental night. <br />I greatly need You, <br /> my strength, shield and light.<br /><br />Beth Culley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hard-night-after-hard-day/
