Sometimes doing nothing
takes more effort than anyone realises.
I’m Just Tired sits in the space between rest and avoidance, where exhaustion makes even ordinary decisions feel heavier than they should. It isn’t about giving up, only about reaching the point where one more small thing feels like too much.
Blanket stuck to the back of my legs
Same show looping inside my head
Daylight leaking round the blinds
Feels like effort just to decide
Phone lights up but I let it die
Everyone wants another piece of my time
I just sink deeper into the couch again
Call it rest call it giving in
I’m not lazy I’m just tired
Of every little thing that’s required
If I stay here long enough
Maybe I’ll finally feel like I’m enough
Coffee cold on the armrest now
Didn’t even notice the hours slipping down
Everything blurs into something soft
Like I’m here but slightly off
If I move I might have to care
If I care I might go nowhere
So I stay right here instead
Let the static fill my head
I’m not lazy I’m just tired
Of every little thing that’s required
If I stay here long enough
Maybe I’ll finally feel like I’m enough
I’m not lazy I’m just tired
Of every little thing that’s required
If I stay here long enough
Maybe I’ll finally feel like I’m enough
(just tired just tired)
Just five more minutes
Yeah just five more
That’s enough for now
