Rest

Nightmare
Photo by Pelly Benassi on Unsplash
It’s hard to be still
But sometimes I need it
So I can be filled
With reflection
 
When I’m in a rush
I have to remember
To stop and just
Take a moment to breathe
 
To always be in motion
For fear that if I stop
My waves of emotion
Will sweep me from the shores
 
Some days I lie here
And try not to think
Of every little fear
And past mistake
 
But for every minute of quiet
Beneath the thick blankets
My thoughts start to riot
And all I can see are flaws
 
I lie on one side
And toss to the other
And tell myself lies
And try to breathe as deep as I can
 
The air fills my lungs
I look at the ceiling
And wonder what’s become
Of the hopeful youth I used to be
