Do we all not have our ups and downs?
have we all not had our reoccurring thoughts,
that just make you want your mind to shut up,

Have we all not stayed up for hours,
just because we couldn't sleep,
or possibly because you just didn't want to,

Do these questions make your mind ache?
and make you think of reoccuring sorrow,
while loosing the hope for a better tomorrow,

Can we explain the minds process of healing,
without revealing too much of ourselves,
and without letting all those bitter thoughts come out,

You know, those thoughts,
the ones that you dare not speak,
in an attempt to look, not so weak,

The ones that leave you laying in bed,
without sleeping a wink,
and you pull the covers over your eyes as the sun comes up, and shines bright,

The thoughts that leave you feeling hollow,
and not giving you anything to fill the voids,
in your ever so empty soul
Just a collection of thoughts with no reflection of my own emotion, because while this is dark, I continue on feeling fine.
