Too Deep

I’m tired but I don’t want to sleep-
For when I sleep, I go down to deep-

And it is hard to see the light ahead-
When inside your heart feels all to dead-

When your life is based on shaky ground-
Every second the air seems to gain a pound-

And you know you can’t fix the past-
When every time you know you’ll come in last-
