I Wrote This Because I Couldn'T Sleep

What do you do When you can feel the walls Closing in on you Walls That are there to protect you From the harshness of the world outside Harshness of the world outside Can they build those for your mind Walls That are there to protect you From the harshness of the world Inside Harshness of the world Inside They look so pretty These walls Painted in happy colours Happy colours Plucked from the rainbow By a glittering fairy Collected in a huge bucket of gold Happy colours Plucked from the rainbow And mixed with sunshine Then why Why is it so dark Inside these walls Walls painted with Colours plucked from the rainbow And mixed with sunshine Why do these walls Painted in happy colours Not lend their happy to me For just one night perhaps Maybe if they do Then I Will not feel like the walls are closing in Maybe if they do Then i Will not fear the dark For one night Maybe if they do Then I Will drop my regrets Like a cloud sheds rain And becomes lighter I will shed the sorrow The regrets The guilt The anger All those tears unshed All those feelings unconfessed And become lighter Maybe then I'll rest Now that I've shed The despair That used to creep into my sleep And colour my dreams That peculiar colour Of gloom and doom and all things bad Maybe now I'll sleep peacefully Finally rest And hope to wake up A new person Not flawless No That's not what I ask to be Just undamaged Just whole.
