JEREMIAD: "I AM TIRED" BY SAMUEL JAMES

Dear God, I'm tired

Tired of the endless trek

My pen does on each page of prayer

The feet of my ink is becoming sore

Dear God, I'm tired

Tired of the gathering clouds in my eyes

Leading to endless rainfalls

Incapable of growing plants

Dear God, I'm tired

Tired of always having to hang 

My drenched heart to dry on faith 

Knowing it will fall in the waters of hopelessness again 

Dear God, I'm tired

Please help me, I drag my feet 

To the place of prayer these days

Even my lips take bribe before it utters "amen".

The poet persona laments being tired over unrealized dreams. The speaker tells God the former is being weighed down and faith is reducing gradually.
