Rest

You are so afraid to let go. You're afraid to let your mind go so that you fall to sleep because you know you will not have control of what it thinks. You don't want to ungrip your train of thought so that your mind will wonder into unconsciousness. You don't want your real feelings to surface into your dreams. You want to occupy your mind's thoughts. You fear losing control and facing your troubles. You know that they are bubbling right in the back of your mind. And if and when you fall to sleep they will float into your dreams and you will have to face them. You are sleepy child. Your soul is tired. And your feet are worn. Your heart is ragged. Rest now. Let go. It won't hurt as much as you think it will.
