Of being.

Just ‘cause I’m grateful for the little things,
Doesn’t mean I can’t be blue.
Why am I not entitled,
When it’s good enough for you?
Yes, your journeys harder,
But you’re the one that took the ride.
I got caught in the backwash,
Of being by your side.
I have worked hard not to dwell on things,
To be grateful for what is there,
To understand your mood swings,
And to do my best in care,
But some days I am tired,
And drawn to a lower place.
Yes, I know it shows in my actions,
And also in my face,
But why am I not entitled?
Why must I always be the strong?
Sometimes I have the tiredness,
From things now being wrong.
