Overwhelmed

Laying down on my bed, staring up.
Too hard to get up and move.
Feeling crushed by the loneliness.
Even the quiet is too overwhelming.

Paralyzed by choice.
Paralyzed by the demons in my sleep.
Brain overworking is causing brain fog.
Can’t see through it. Can’t think – through it.

Deep breaths and white noise.
Try to keep the tossing and turning to minimum.
Deep sleep and pleasant dreams bring gentle relief.
A simple path forward might come with a new sunrise.
