I can't Sleep	I can’t sleep Reality crashes into me like a heavy wave of misery andself-hate Street lights pass me by like little stars in the nightbegging me to stop before it’s too late I can’t stop crying and my demons won’t seize This pain is too much and I search for relief I try to resist the urge to cut my life short but in my headall I can think is “What are you even worth?” I’m trying to be brave and put a smile on my face and themore I think about it I realize, you are my saving grace. My shooting star that I wish I could hold, my fire thatwarms me whenever I’m cold I want to help pick up your broken heart You’re beautiful, an amazing work of art For once in my life I am happy and you are making me fallfor you But I don’t think the feelings are the same and so I try notto I’m sorry if it hurts you but my days I struggle to keep I’m having a hard time staying alive and I can’t sleep (Please give me feedback on grammar mistakes i may have made and anything i could change in the poem. Thanks!)

I can’t sleep
Reality crashes into me like a heavy wave of misery andself-hate
Street lights pass me by like little stars in the nightbegging me to stop before it’s too late
I can’t stop crying and my demons won’t seize
This pain is too much and I search for relief
I try to resist the urge to cut my life short but in my headall I can think is “What are you even worth?”
I’m trying to be brave and put a smile on my face and themore I think about it I realize, you are my saving grace.
My shooting star that I wish I could hold, my fire thatwarms me whenever I’m cold
I want to help pick up your broken heart
You’re beautiful, an amazing work of art
For once in my life I am happy and you are making me fallfor you
But I don’t think the feelings are the same and so I try notto
I’m sorry if it hurts you but my days I struggle to keep
I’m having a hard time staying alive and I can’t sleep
