In the dark of night, I ponder deep,
Why does it feel suffocating, this weight I keep?
Dreams haunt me, relentless, it seems,
Why do they persist, filling me with screams?
Fear grips tight, as I close my eyes to the deep,
Why am I scared to sleep, in shadows I leap?
Words elude, emotions concealed,
Why can\'t I express what\'s truly revealed?
Questions swirl, no answers in sight, I
n the silence of night, I continue to fight.
Why, oh why, does this turmoil steal,
The peace I seek, the wounds to heal?
