I am tired

Project Type

Sonnet

This sonnet expresses the deep tiredness that comes with the passing of life, when the burdens become heavy and the soul feels dejected without a clear reason. It is a reflection on the mental and emotional tiredness that plagues us, often in silence, while the body still smiles, trying to disguise the internal pain. However, behind this tiredness, there arises the desire for peace, for a true rest that allows the soul to find relief and clarity. The search is for a deeper understanding of life, where, finally, tiredness dissolves into acceptance and serenity.

I am tired, of course, because life,
Gives us a heavy burden at some point,
And even without reason or reason found,
The soul feels the pain of a badly wounded person.

But what is this tiredness that stares at me?
It would have been useless for me to have searched,
If the pain remains, and when I am silenced,
Deeper in my mind the burden lives.

Yes, I am tired, somewhat smiling,
For seeing that pain is just a vain torment,
That rests in the body, persistent.

I wish only peace and oblivion,
Transparent clarity, there, absent,
That finally from life comes such understanding.
