How Will I Fall Asleep Tonight? Poem by Edwina Reizer

How will I fall asleep tonight?
My mind just races so.
Can I desensitize myself to life
and allow my mind to go
to a place of peace and rest?
Or has God allowed this to happen to me
because it is my test?

I search for answers that do not come.
They’re lost inside of my mind.
I struggle with this on each new day
but the answers are left behind
in some faraway place that beckons me
but I’m never able to find.

I will try again to sleep tonight
and put my thoughts away
at least until I can find some rest
to face another day.
