Pillow talk

Thoughts keep me awake at night,  
Can't breathe 'cause my chest feels tight.  
I keep hearing "you'll be alright,"  
But that doesn't stop the thoughts at night.  
Happiness just doesn't seem right,  
Always feeling fight or flight.  
I can't stop these thoughts at night,  
Haunting me till the morning light.  
Hoping for a future that looks bright,  
How do I stop these thoughts at night?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
