Struggling Words

Climbing into bed
Feeling the soft pillow on my head
Bring my hands together
Closing my eyes forever
Fingertips touch and clasp
Beginning my prayer at last

Having trouble starting out
Concentrating and struggling about
Frustrating in my head
Tears dwelling up and getting sad
Nothing's coming out clear 
And it is very hard to hear

Feeling awful of not succeeding
Having more trouble reading
Doing my best
But trying to finish the rest
I just want to go out and play
And not have anything to say.
