Sleepless In Singapore - Poem

As I lay in bed, unable to sleep,

My mind races with thoughts so deep.

A disquiet lingers, unexplainable,

Leaving me feeling lost and vulnerable.

I toss and turn, seeking some respite,

But the weight of my anguish is too great to fight.

Why is it  causing me this unrest?

I ask myself, but find no answer in my chest.

Perhaps it's a dream that didn't come true,

Or a hope that was shattered, leaving me blue.

Maybe it's a fear that's taken root,

Or a regret that's made me feel so moot.

Whatever it is, it's keeping me awake,

Causing my heart to trouble & quake.

But I know that with each passing night,

This anguish will soon fade & there shall appear a light.

For in  this darkness as I groped

Searching for a way to cope.

But as i go on my knees in prayer I spoke

I know Christ is my only hope.

Through trials and tribulations,

I've learned to find my foundations.

Suffering has made me strong,

Silence has to remain for peace to last long.

I'm grateful for the years that passed,

For they've taught me to hold steadfast.

So I'll close my eyes and breathe in deep,

And trust that soon, after writing this piece, I'll drift off to sleep
