I Lay Awake Thinking Poem by Vincent Bailey

I lay awake, thinking
Into my thoughts I go, sinking
Not knowing how ta swim I'll drown
To the bottom I go never ta b found
I'm lost, I'm confused
Life's a permanent bruise
I feel it, n I wonder y its there
Evn to go away it'd come back, hair
I wish it'd leav forever, disappear
But for now I'll jus let it be
For now I havta worry about me
An the problems I encounter
I try to wash away all my tears in the shower
At least no1 will know I was crying
But then it feels as if I was hiding
My emotions I needta let them go let them free
Put a smile on my face an hav nothing to worry
Face the facts, an move on from the past
Worry about now an think about that last
Think about all the positive
An b thankful, b thankful for all of it
