Asleep

When the house is still, and everyone's asleep
I finally allow myself to weep

It feels so good, to just let go
And not having to put up a show

No need to smile, to the kids around
Who need to see me strong and sound

No friends who worry, and want to hear
That all is fine, because they care

Now the tears can freely flow
I mourn the security, I used to know


I let myself be gripped with fear
And face the agony of despair

Oh Lord! you hear my muffled cries
Hold me tight and dry my eyes

I do not have to beg, or explain
I am your child, you feel my pain

So take my burden, make it light
That feels better.......Good Night
