Around this time
You realise that you aren’t okay

That everyone around you
Is safe in their dreams
While you’re kept awake
By all the demons that don’t let you sleep

Your thoughts begin to spiral
And downward you go,
As soon as your first tear falls,
It’s like you’ve called in a storm.

Your heart is in tangles
And your mind is a 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…!
