Toss and Turn.

Jamie Cannon

Tossing and turning
 Unable to sleep.
 While others happily live their lives
 All I seem to do is weep.
 Nobody understands;
 Nobody can see
 The person I am
 Is not really me.
 Would they like me?
 Would they care?
 If they knew
 The weird thoughts inside my head
 Imagining the world if I was dead.
