Insomnia

When my mind is clouded
burdened and unstable
when I can't smile in the rain
or sing my favorite song

When my mind is clouded
and the words don't come out right
when I find no ears to listen
no hands to hold
when I don't want to ask

When my mind is filled with worries
the shame of sharing my pains
when I am left confused
hiding my tears
behind a smile
