Please don’t see
just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me
reaching out for someone I can’t see

Take my hand let’s see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I’ll be damned Cupid’s demanding back his arrow
So let’s get drunk on our tears and

God, tell us the reason
youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season
and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

Who are we?
Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?
Woe is me.
if we’re not careful turns into reality

Don’t you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page maybe we’ll find a brand new ending
Where we’re dancing in our tears and

God, tell us the reason
youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season
and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same

God, give us the reason
youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season
and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

Fatigue is many things.

Fatigue is…
starting out the day with an energy deficit.
being more tired in the morning than you were the night before.
wanting to cry thinking about a task to be done next week.
not remembering where you put the refrigerator, the car or the kids.
operating at half-speed.
When your limbs feel like concrete
and your brain like cotton candy.
when you cannot go
one more millisecond and have to stop NOW.
when it becomes a major chore
to walk to the mailbox.
knowing no one can really understand
unless they stand in your shoes.
oft times painful.
walking through glue.
Fatigue = Gravity X 2

Fatigue is many things.

Fatigue is a great teacher…
when we must learn to share our burden.
when we must learn to
freely let go
of some of the
control
we prize so dearly.
when we must learn to stop and smell the roses.
when we must learn to love the quiet times.
when we must learn
to let our souls and our bodies lie fallow
waiting for change that will bring new life.
when we can laugh at ourselves.
Fatigue is a great teacher if we can learn it’s lessons.
Fatigue means learning these lessons again and again.
Fatigue is about letting go.

Fatigue is many things.

Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out – it’s the grain of sand in your shoe. – Robert Service

It’s a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. – W. Somerset Maugham
