Being tired is more than just a physical feeling.
I can feel it in my body, my mind, my soul, in every activity I do. 

Some days I force myself to get up and start my day. 
All I really want to do is sleep and sleep, sleep the day away and not wake up. 

My children laugh, they want me to play but I can just barely manage.
Dishes and laundry need done, something so small seems like such a large task.

Nap time rolls around, the kids don't want to settle.
Today I haven't the energy to enforce the rules.

They sleep and I blast music as loud as I can.
Its the only thing that drowns out my mind.

I make dinner and get them fed.
No food for me, I have no appetite.

We do our bedtime routine and they fall asleep.
I lay there lost in thought, waiting for the escape of sleep to hit.

As I drift off I hope tomorrow will be better,
And I won't have to battle my mind like I did today.
