I didn't sleep again last night My eyelids are heavy and my throat feels tight Time seems to run away When I'm with you My brain Not in a good way though My thoughts wound me as I stare out of the window Which scares me, I think there are monsters outside Is that childish? Or true? I Don't know, I'm too tired to decide Even if there aren't monsters outside there are certainly some in my head Which like to run wild as I lay still, alone in my bed They tease and taunt me, tell me I'm unsafe So I can't sleep, just incase. I know these thoughts are irrational But I'd rather lay here and watch dust particles Float and fall and float again Please don't leave me alone with my brain. It is starting to get light I didn't sleep again last night. ~ T

I Don't know, I'm too tired to decide Even if there aren't monsters outside there are certainly some in my head Which like to run wild as I lay still, alone in my bed They tease and taunt me, tell me I'm unsafe So I can't sleep, just incase. I know these thoughts are irrational But I'd rather lay here and watch dust particles Float and fall and float again Please don't leave me alone with my brain.
