Tired but Wired (NaPoWriMo 26/30 for 2026)

By Daniel Paiz

There are times when you take care of tasks in life. You are ambitious and get going on quite a list of items. And when you get to the end, and you did stuff that was out of your trend…being wired ends. Quickly.

In this case, perhaps due to the life of the past year starting to smash together with these past few weeks has led to something. Something unexpected and bold. Like poetry, who knows what unfolds, when both tired but wired.

Tired but Wired

Exhausted.

Tired.

Shaky.

Old.

Exhausted, Tired, Shaky, Old

repeat incoming of what’s been told,

tired, shaky, maybe cold,

exhausted seems in overdrive mode.

No.

Stop it,

Not anymore.

Somehow with all of this foretold,

overstimulated, here we go.

Tired….

Shaky….

Exhausted….

not cold or old,

this body’s been wired for too many shows,

hold on…….

….what’s that….

finally…

it might be time to rest, good night!
