Tonight

Tonight as I try to sleep
Try as I may I just can’t so I lay here and think
Before I know it I begin to weep
I cover my face and cry harder into a pink pillow
Soon I surrender into the empty pit deep inside

The next day I sweep my bedroom floor
Then I bellow at the nothing that surrounds
I feel weak whenever I weep
Thinking I’m never good at anything
There is no defender for me by my side

The weakness grows stronger when I sleep
Over and over I think if only
Try as I may I can’t just sweep away the weakness inside
My life will be over run by fear from now till forever
I feel like throwing a fit like Humpty Dumpy did

I can’t escape it even if I weep and cry
So now as I say goodbye I cry
Even as I try to dry my crying eyes
No matter how loud my bellowing cries are
I can’t stop them they are like a empty pit in the stomach that nothing will fill
