In My Bed Poem by Nia Liliana

The reality of me
That I'll never let you see

the longer I stay awake
the more pieces of my heart break
I sleep to ease the pain
I dream that things were the way they used to be

Every time I wake up so does reality
It hits me hard and knocks me down
Like being abandoned in a big blue ocean
All I can do is drown

I try to swim, In but my arms aren't that strong
Each kick my legs give out more and more
It's just easier to isolate myself
and close the bedroom door

No one knows how broken I am
No one hears my silent cries for help
No one knows all the tears I shed
It's just easier to lie down in bed

I think about life
and where things went wrong
I can't get over all these sad songs
They help me cope and not sleep all day

But it still doesn't take my worries away
So I lay down my head
and dream of what could've been
I just settle for crying puddles of tears

Alone in my bed
