Awake in Darkness
I awake to darkness
head heavy but whirling too
cold outside the sheets
I climb out of bed
sleep eluded too much worry
- How can I change things
How did I get here
Irish traveller no longer in motion
is this finally the journey's end.
Curtains open now
I see the flat - alone in thought
Feeling low with no one to talk too
Windows run with damp
anxiety of failure deepens,
time to speak up now
I offer my best self,
Everything does not have to be perfect
I have the power to make today great
Just believe in yourself
I do have the strength
Speak up then they will know
