One night as I lay in bed ready for sleep
My mind began racing and started to creep
Down alleys of darkness and trouble assured
Anxiety fills me and henceforth it poured.
At times I was silly, I lied or was sad.
These memories are always the worst of the bad.
Sleep shan’t come my way now I’ve sent her away
Repeat sore scenarios from yesterday.
How can I shake off this torment from my mind?
During the day nothing sad can I find.
I’m happy go lucky all through the day
And at night she lays waiting to creep in and say
No sleep tonight child - for you needn’t wonder.
You have things you can’t change you must only now ponder.
