Around this time 

You realize that you're not okay

That everyone around you 

is safe in their dreams 

while you are kept awake 

by all the demons that

don't want you to sleep 



You're thoughts begin to spiral 

and downward you go

as soon as your first tear falls 

it's like you've called a storm



Your heart is in tangles 

and your mind is mess

you find yourself scattered 

drowning in a sea of your own

sadness


and now you lay awake 

wishing you spent the night

counting stars 

instead of all the 

problems in your life.
