Clear my mind and don’t think
Close your eyes and count sheep
Put on light music and dream
I heard these put you to sleep
But nothing works I wish it would
My eyes are swollen and you’ll see
That in the morning I’m not awake
My nights keep me up it occupies me
My thoughts are intense and heart hitting
As soon as I crawl into bed
My mind fills with a thousand emotions
Playing back what they said
The next day I get to school
Barely able to read the words on the book
But the teacher just thinks less of me
Nothings wrong, why take a second look
When I get home it’s all the same
Waste away in my thoughts, die in my mind
Sit around and wonder why
Lye awake and fall behind
It never ends he walks out all the time
I’m used to the car starting at night
My dad comes back, but only to yell
And it repeats, I just bundle up tight
Mom cries but smiles through her tears
She tells me everything’s going to be okay
She says that he’s going to change
I’m already 9, but I’ll believe her anyway
I try to be strong, only for her though
I squeeze my teddy bear and cry
But only when she’s gone
Do I show the pain I hold inside
PLEASE COMMENT! Its important to me, tell me how i can improve and what you think!
