If I could Just.....

Ever wonder what happens to a person who cannot stop worrying about everything.

If I could just sleep and let go of the pain that plagues my soul

To let go of things I know I cannot control.

Because of the voices I hear in the night

Still everyone says it will be alright

Instead of under my bed the voices are in my head saying there’s still work to be done

Rest for weary not tonight son!

Over this shoulder and now the next, out that window and around the corner

 I can feel them creeping up on me every second, every moment, my life’s a page turner

Dreams… dreams… what are those?! I can’t remember the last time felt what it felt like to dream

So much noise, so much pain, sometimes I afraid I’ll never dream again!

When our deepest, dearest dreams don’t come true

They are our darkest nightmare true!?

Just one moment of silence again, and then maybe I can sleep in sweet slumber again.

Not worrying about whose cold or hungry tonight, rape and molestation that rips a life

Just slumber, relaxing my body and mind.  And just maybe there will be some peace to find.

If I could just sleep…
