Awake again, I lie in bed
A million thoughts running through my head
This lack of direction and confusion in life
Could be the reason for this sleepless rife
Never have I been this lost in thought,
And losing control is leaving me distraught
‘It’s a phase’ I assure myself, ‘it is going to pass’
But the fears have set in, like colors of stained glass
This has happened before, I know this feeling
Something inside is broken that requires healing
And all I can do is take a deep breath and step back
Believing sooner or later things will be back on track
Its dark right now but the sun will rise again
Bringing in a new day after this cleanse from the rain
Your demons tend to teach and reveal yourself to you
The trick is to befriend them but not let them through
Whatever it is that I have ever dreaded
Has taught me a lesson that is now imbedded
As no growth or learning can be achieved without adversity
It’s the hardships and misfortunes you overcome that become your university.
