Tired
I feel like I'm walking on eggshells!
Afraid....
Afraid that if I say the wrong thing,
act the wrong way, respond in a way that is opposing to you..
That I'll ruin your imperfect rhythm
I AM TIRED!
Why can't I be myself?
Am I too strong minded?
Am I demanding?
Is it even me?
What is it that makes it so easy for you to turn the other cheek?
I AM TIRED!
It is no one's fault but mine,
Making the decisions to keep me safe
But safe is not happy
Isn't that what we truly want?
Happiness, peace, and love
I am tired.
You are no longer a reflection of me
Maybe in the beginning, but not now
I think I've learned my lesson,
but maybe there's more
I am..
This time will soon expire,
Soon I will be free!
These lessons may very well be worth it.
Conditioned.
It will all be over soon,
I am...

I am not sure whether you are talking too yourself or somebody else here but either way it works really well.
A great poem
