Sleepless Night

I lay in my bed, deep in thought
how do I feel? I'm so distraught.

I turn on my side and stare at the wall
I just don't know what to do about it all.

I turn on my back and stare at the ceiling.
what is this new sensation that I'm feeling?

I lay on my stomach, my face in my hand.
what do I do? I just don't understand.

I sit up in bed - I just can't sleep tonight.
There's something about me that's not right.

I lay back down and close my eyes,
wondering again in whom I can confide.

I touch the wall, then look up at the ceiling
Maybe all I need is some time to start healing.

I smile slowly as I close my eyes,
And the tear on my cheek slowly dries.

For now I know I must not weep,
As I slowly drift off to sleep.


this is my first post in open, and I decided to post my favourite. so, it's prolly awful on your standards..but I had to get a fresh perspective on something I've written. thanks!!

(big hugggssssss) Oh Stacy, I know these times ever so well myself, for sometimes when I feel anxious or sad about something I just stare at the ceiling and think about myself and others. Then, when I think about all my loved ones, then I fall asleep, blessed to have something deep down in my heart. (big hugggssssss) You are a very special person, sweet Stacy, and I'm so happy you're beginning to post here! (smiles) You have such wonderful talent, dearest friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Stacy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

stace-
   Great to see you posting in Open!
   This is no where near awful!
   You've done a great job expressing your
   emotions in this one.  I felt it along
   with you as I read.
   Nicely done.
   Hope to see more of you here.
   Hugs,
   ~Vicky

Stace,

I was feeling your thoughts and pain right along with you as I read. Two nights ago I had a sleepless night and went through exactly all you speak of so well here. Welcome to Open. This poem was far from bad.
