"DREAM MARKS ON MY PILLOW."

IF I COULD GET SOME SLEEP, I WOULD.

I stay up all night thinking about why I feel like I have no one. 

Why people turn against me in times of trouble when I am always there for them in times of need. 

I think about why I have stress and anxiety, and how two simple aspects can affect my life in so many ways. I think about my struggles, my grades, and how I am falling behind knowing that the end is near. I think about my life after graduation, all the things I will have to do to pursue my dreams and goals. I think about my sick grandmother, and say a 20 minute prayer for her every night. 

I mention my mom in the prayer too, I hate seeing her struggle everyday. 

Through the midst of all my sad thoughts, i remember just how blesses i really am. 

Yes, I may feel as if my life is falling apart sometimes, but I really have all I could ever need, and that thought is what puts me to sleep.

Haiku:

Stress and Anxiety

Awake. Keeps me up at night.

Restless and Tired.
