I close my eyes and try to sleep
Upon my face a frown
Toss and turn all night long
My brain just won\'t shut down
Thoughts of panic fill my mind
The anxiety kicks in
I push the sadness further down
But it lingers beneath my skin
My body starts to shake and shudder
I feel my heat pound
I am completely paralysed
Whilst my family sleep safe and sound
I cannot be a burden
Mustn\'t trouble them with my fears
Though I say I am fine
I\'m holding back the tears
Every time I breathe
My chest feels small and tight
It\'s like a constant battle
And i cannot win this fight
Yet still,
I close my eyes and try to sleep
Upon my face a frown
Toss and turn all night long
My brain just won\'t shut down
