Good Night

zhangyuyouyu

These nights it seems like it is harder to cope

to hold on to hope

Feels like there is a boulder on my chest

Making my heart heavy

but it continues to pump faster and faster

It is getting harder to breathe

I have to gasp for air

 

Deep breaths

to stay grounded

Unable to do that

My mind is all over the place

and my body is constantly walking on eggshells

I wish for a peaceful sleep

    Your words powerfully evoke the struggle that the mind often goes through when sleep is elusive. May your breaths slow and find the rhythm of peace. Very well written.
