Why is it so hard for my brain to rest??

It’s like I’m constantly studying for some big test.

From the moment I laid down and turn off the light,

Anxiety, worry in panic take over my night.

Visions of problems dance through my head

Share to play me until I am dead.

So many issues in the world we live in,

There’s no clear place to begin.

Change is a possibility for us all,

We just need to keep getting up after we fall.

I strive to do my best every single day,

Especially when things don’t go my way.

Dealing with others, can take so much out of me,

Why is it so hard for them to see what I see?

I make a point to give second chances

And never cast judgmental glances.

In every person, I try to see the good

Which sometimes causes more harm than it should.

But you’re resting and no one will get you nowhere,

After all the pain, it’s still best to care.

This beautiful thing called life, goes by too fast,

So there’s no need to dwell on the past.

It’s so much better to have loved and lost

These are the pleasures we get at no cost.

At times, I wonder what is the point of all this?

Then I think about my first heart pounding kiss.

Each and every magical moment I’ve ever had,

The good Times always outweigh the bad.

The key to happiness is in our perception,

Our view of the world is like picking which direction.

Being optimistic is the key to succeed,

Thinking positive is all we need.

Negative thoughts can suffocate in mind,

Making true happiness impossible to find.
