Last Night

Last Night
(May 2011)
Another sleepless night
Five hours I lay there
In bed - completely still
Except for tears leaking down my cheeks
Last night
Life overwhelmed me
I didn't know what was wrong
I only knew how I felt
Sick - confused - hurt
This morning - in the light of day
I think I can see
What was bothering me
Such little things
-News of an ex
-A comment from a far away friend
-Cravings for attention from my crush
-Secrets dying to be told
And no one to talk to
All such little things
Alone, none of them would get to me
But together
They triggered similar emotions
Rejection - inadequacy - lonliness
And there I lay
For five hours
Wondering why I felt
So alone
