RESTless

 I wona sleep at night and actually get some rest

I’m tired all the time and it’s only because I’m stressed

Lord give me strength I know this is just a test

But I’m crying lord and I want to be released

But I digress

Days have been longer

Goals approaching much stronger

Life changing daily

I guess I was meant to go through these things

My journey might be long

But my goals are much stronger than my weakness that’s holding me

I want to be released

I’ve been smiling God but I’m not happy

Why do I beat myself up so badly?

Hearing my mother’s pain hurts me so deep

I hope my family doesn’t notice I weep

I speak when spoken to now

And have no courage to be different anymore

I lost my love I had for clothing

Because things don’t fir anymore

I want to change but life’s been getting rough

I want to graduate but obstacles are getting tough

I couldn’t imagine a day without her but times are getting tough

I feel like I’m losing oxygen to my brain

Damn I don’t know how much longer I can bluff

I want to be released.
