At Midnight

Sometimes I fail to understand
Sometimes I'm scared to try
Most times I give up and retire deep into sleep
Hoping that the next sun beam will help me peak
A little more into what you feel
Every time I say something I think I'll regret.

I conclude that keeping it all inside is best
But I wake up after that bad decision
Sucking in air that I cannot breathe
Hoping that a mild tranquilizer
Will shut me back to sleep.
