I Care Myself to Rest
I cry myself to sleep wondering if caring is the only way to be me
If I really have to give it all to receive nothing at most and brokenness at least
I cry myself to sleep feeling the pain of a hand that grips my heart pressing from all sides
Squeezing, smothering
I cry myself to sleep
Will it stop
Will it go away
Will I know a beautiful day
When the words you say
Wipes away my tears
I cry myself to sleep
Make it stop
Make it dry
Make me care free
Yet be completely me
I care myself to rest
