Its midnight
I crouch my head down under the covers because my anxiety increases at night
No, my mind doesn't do me right
But that's life
I lay in the bed with strife
Fighting the fantasy of being someone's wife
Wishing my mind stop wondering
This cycle is so troubling
Seems like my success is fumbling
But I know God is still working
Even when it seems like my life is broken
The blessings are still coming
So I need to stop worrying
Remembering human connection is important
That's why I keep longing
On social media looking for something
Realizing it's keeping me from growing
It's midnight, so is it good night or good morning?

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

You have a beautiful heart. Thank you for sharing this.
I love the vulnerability, and how deeply relatable this was. It reminded me of the days when I also felt this way. But I like that you put emphasis on the fact that wishing to be someone’s wife/ human connection is normal and important, because it is. I meditated on ‘Songs of Songs’ and on the book of ‘Ruth’. But I know how unbearable this feeling can be, sending you warm hugs 🤗♥️ I liked that last line, it’s clever and it gave me a smile for its playful tone 👌🏽
Ah the sandman who allows sleep in messing with you. Mess with him back I say. I think of something else, something pleasant to let sleep come. Hang in there Emily. - Nicely written.
Beautiful job! I hope you don't look for connection with people on social media! Seek love and connection in real life- it as lots to offer!😉
Very relatable! God's got us!💪🏾
Nice work Emily! Hit the lines!
Amazing work! Really hits home!! I can truly relate to this!
clever, heartfelt, and very relatable. so well done, thank you. 💙
Very nice
Ah the anxiety bugs are biting. Bed bugs got nothing on them. Nicely done Emily. 🙂↕️
For what it's worth I met the love of my life via social media so hang in there. This read with a perfect beat, I imagined you sharing it out-loud. You touched on the humanness of our hardest times.
Nights can be difficult, I like that you describe the less romantic part of the night, the sleepless one when problems seem insurmountable, the suffering emerges from your verses, I really like how you did it
"But I know God is still working Even when it seems like my life is broken", Indeed 💖 I love your poems so much, seriously Emily! 😃✨
Very real emotions captured here, nice work.
hope you can sleep well... you captured some interesting moments... it's midnight--good night or good morning...
