HEAVY

tired of life
just saying...

sick of the shame
still weighing...

heavy on hearts
unpraying...Ā 

tired of life...
not staying.

Hi Marion

A clever short write. Could be read in two ways. The first time I read it, I read the last line as though they were giving up. Then I read again and realised it could be that they are tired of people dying, of life constantly ceasing to be. Both are equally painful to read and the double meaning I found in this, just adds to the weight of the entire piece. Therefor a very apt titleĀ
