Night

I struggle with depression, and I dread going to bed at night because that is when everything really hits me.

It's late at night when I'm lying in bed

That my troubles and struggles run through my head.

They trouble my heart and awaken my feelings,

Keeping me from sleep and preventing me from healing.

I'll close my eyes and try to sleep,

But my emotions come forth and I begin to weep.

Cries turn into sobs and sobs turn into screams,

Leaving me breathless and feeling so weak.

~Darci Jordan

Author's Note

I know "screams" and "weak" don't rhyme but it still has the "ee" sound and it sounded good to me.

No need to worry about the rhymes. The night time is when we have nothing to do. The result is a troubled mind with enough time to wander into the wrong places. That's when it hurts the most.

We cannot escape from the harsh reality of the world we are living in.
