Tired, by Cleo Wade. Pretty timely.

Don’t give up, folks. Keep fighting the good fight. We can do this. ✊🏻

Tired, Cleo Wade.
I was tired of worrying
so I gave myself my peace back
I was tired of feeling intimidated by what I should do
so I pulled up my sleeves
and
got to work on what I could do
I was tired of not knowing
so I found out — about myself, my family, my
ancestors, my government and the struggles of others
I was tired of seeing evil everywhere
so I found the heavenly spots and showed my
neighbors where they
were
I was tired
of looking at the world as one big mess
so I decided to
start cleaning it up
and when people ask me if I’m exhausted
I tell them no
because
more than anything
what I got the most tired of
was being tired

@markwyner Thanks for sharing a lovely, encouraging poem full of wise advice.

May I add this,
When feeling overwhelmed and tired please reach out for help because there's no shame in allowing our friends, our community, to provide emotional support for the short time we need until we are rested enough to carry on helping clean up the world.
