some nights i can't sleep because the silence is so loud and i find my mind wandering & i won't attempt to lie when i tell you i'm scared of where i've been and the confusion of not knowing where i'm going i try so hard to keep the faith to plaster that smile on my face but sometimes i cry myself to sleep because the world seems so big and i'm not sure which way to turn because i've never been so good with directions and choices some nights i can't sleep because i'm so exhausted that i feel tired deep into my bones and i just wanna rest but i'm always on the fight or flight mode running, running, running from everyone and everything because sometimes i don't want people to know me because people leave & you're left with memories that burn and ache sometimes i can't sleep because this is when the questions keep bouncing around in my head and i don't know how to silence it anymore but sometimes i just wish that i could sleep
