At night they come out, just as you settle down for your nightly nap. They come out, they haunt you, they torture you. It’s like your brain has a brain of it’s own and you cannot control it. The thoughts, the memories, the what if’s.
They won’t leave you alone, no matter how much you try to distract, they are there. Reminding you of things that you don’t have the courage to face. The fear, the pain!
all the quotes, all the wisdom, all the research, and still no solution.
It’s an internal struggle, a war that rages on. The negativity that consumes you as you try to deal. It’s only at night when they come out. the robbing of sleep and energy, the robbing of life. During they day they lay dormant, uninterrupted, plotting.
What to do? How to face? How to control?
Let it happen, think it through, grieve and face the fear. Find your strength and peace. Only then will they stop coming out at night when it’s finally accepted.
