Tossing and turning

I have a lot on my mind lately and no one to talk to
I have a ton of reasons why I’m tired of life but I was taught to keep your head up
I can only control what I can control 
Everything else I’m learning to let it go
God works in mysterious ways and he always comes through for me
Every night I crawl in my bed 
I allow my brain to go empty
No worries and no stress 
I’ll just lay here in this bed until I have to get up again
All I ever want in life is to win and succeed at everything 
Sometimes I allow things to eat me alive
A lot of times I hold so much in but when I hit that pillow
There’s only tossing and turning going on
Thankfully my brain is not on and I can breathe again 
Sometimes to relief myself I need to think of nothing
