Tired of Cryin’
Who’s behind the looking glass, looking back at me?
I’ve been blinded by the light, but darkness covers me.
Every track I leave in the sand is swallowed by the sea.
Why do my wheels keep on spinnin’ around?
Why can’t I keep my feet on the ground?
The more things change the more they stay the same…
Who’ll stop the rain?
I’m tired of cryin’…afraid of dyin’
Seeing my life pass before my eyes
I’m tired of cryin’…but I keep tryin’
And I never know just why
You were my lover and a friend
I had to lose to win
I’m tired of cryin’…

My body is defeated.
I am so tired.
I have stretch marks,and broken veins, and nothing works like it used too.
Age has crept up and whittled the youth out of my face.
My joints hurt.
My hands swell.
I am no longer young.
My grip on the things I control eases away.
I am floating in a boat without a sail at the mercy of the vast sea.
Although I paddle in a direction, ultimately I am not sure if it is the right one.
With no markers, no horizon, how can you tell?
The players in the vast sea change day by day but the sea is the same.
The sun comes up and the sun goes down.
I paddle toward it, I must.
Without any direction I would drift and I must control what I can.
Very nice…should be in it’s own post…not just a comment on my feeble expression.
Thanks for sharing!
[You may be "no longer young" but you're not yet dead!]
yes…I know all about crying.
If it we could just be like children again, where a simple hug and some soft comforting words could cure almost every hurt – but, alas…it’s not so simple, is it?
It’s as complicated as we make it.
Some of us learn how to complicate things early…some don’t.
We still have the capacity to be calmed and “cured” by a simple hug and some soft, comforting words. It’s in there amidst all the other noise.
Peace…
yes, you are right.
some of us know how to filter out the noise. sadly, most don’t.
and you know, i can offer those words of comfort, but unfortunately, i can only offer a cyberhug as my arms can’t reach that far.
peace.
