Bone Tired

You know those nights,

Where a long day blends into the evening stars

And the sun sets on the earth

Like fatigue sets in on your tired bones

Where breathing knocks the air out of your lungs

And existing takes all your efforts

When your tired lungs struggle to push against

That rib cage of yours

Bruised and battered…..

Take a break

Breathe in that cold air of lonely night

And tell your tired heart

“I exist and therefore I am”
