Everything"s ok

This is a poem reveals who i really am

Another day has ended

And I turn out the light

A bittersweet release

That  only comes at night

I lie here in the darkness

Exhausted and alone

But grateful the day is over

My secrets still my own

Allowing myself to breathe

And exhaling all the way

It feels so good I  wonder

If Ive held my breath all day.

If I lay here really still

In a moment  sleep will find me

And I pray for peaceful dreams

And nothing to remind me

But tonight sleep has forgotten me

Like so many nights before

And im haunted by a memory

a repeat of the night before

Useless  now to fight the tears

I pray each night they’ll drown me

There’s no one here to notice them

In the darkness that surrounds me

And when the sunlight finds me broken

I will get up and face the day

And  once again, I will pretend

That everything’s okay
