Tired

Dried out like an old wineskin
While the fire burns so sad and dim
I’m tired of struggling to keep it lit
So maybe I’ll rest and fold my limbs

Why can't anybody else on this website write something good? It takes forever to wade through s**t. Finally, something that is not s**t.

Awesome review, man- straight and to the point. I’m glad you didn’t think it was garbage :)

At age 64, after 2 decades of constant all-over pain, this is exactly how I feel. Thank you for putting it into a context that doesn't make it sound grotesque or suicidal. It's not that I would do anything to invite death, but I won't do much to prevent it, either. Sometimes living is overrated & especially in these difficult times, it seems especially ridiculous to stick around for the outcome. Way to say so much in so few words (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Although I have not struggled in the same way, I also have developed the same indifference toward life. Without Jesus and the hope I have in Him, I have found everything to be meaningless; worthless. He alone gives life meaning, and the spirit hope. I was inspired to write this not only by my mentality at the time but also by the 119th psalm, where the psalmist describes himself as “a wine skin dried out by smoke”. To which I nodded in agreement. I hope your pain fades, my prayers are with you

Love your embellishment on this! Thanks for that!
