    The Confusion

                                                           ©Cheryl Stevenson June 2016

Here I am lying in bed, desperate to fall asleep.

The darkness, quietness and stillness of the night, somehow seems to frighten me.

When will these felling pass, so I may sleep?

I'm not sure if I ever remember feeling this way before.

Silent tears stream slowly down my cheek and onto my pillow.

I do not know why I'm feeling this way!

There is no explanation for how I'm feeling.

Or if there is, the words don't make sense to me.

Perhaps, I'm unsure of where I am.

It all just seems so confusing for me.

I wonder if I will fall asleep soon.

I hope that when I awake, all will be normal for me again.

I HATE feeling this way!
