Pathway To Sleep

(For those who have trouble sleeping.)

The journey to sleep can be described as a pathway
Though yours is much different than my way.

Some of us fall at a slow slide
For others it's a bumpy ride

Encompassed by physical pain or mental,
Our pathway is never simple.

Aroused by fear or driven by hunger,
We all have reason to stay awake longer.

And there we lie in bed
Drowning with the thoughts in our head

We fill our heads with troubles
And our wakefulness doubles.

Wether awakened in the dead of night or at noon day,
Our pathway is rough and ragged we seek another way.
