Sleeplessness
Tossing, turning, alone at night
That same old feeling conjures up inside
Thoughts and fears bring me to tears
Oh how I wish I could rewind the years
Mistakes made, people change
We take it with us, as we age
As if to carry my own cross
If I fall to my knees, will I feel at ease?
Hours pass, it's a new day
but tonight the pain will start over again
That same old feeling conjures up inside
Thoughts and fears bring me to tears
Oh how I wish I could rewind the years
Mistakes made, people change
We take it with us, as we age
As if to carry my own cross
If I fall to my knees, will I feel at ease?
Hours pass, it's a new day
but tonight the pain will start over again

Thank you very much.
Llaime
nothing is worse than the sleep that never comes,
especially when its the only escape from from the self
Also thinking about the past, all the thoughts that come up at night. I love it.
You could have been writing about me, I can indentify with mistakes, getting older etc., love it.
Luckily I have no problem sleeping the majority of the time, but have definitely had nights of unrest in the past due to overthinking. I hope for those of you in the same boat that it'll pass too
