Writing Workshop - Untill the next night

I am anxious, trying not to think about what might be wrong

I am trying hard to banish any worrying thoughts from my mind

To compartmentalise my health worries

Separating them from our everyday life

But I am tired, oh so tired, exhausted beyond belief

Trying hard to keep up with my boys

which I do manage most day's

But my nights suffer for it

The thoughts they run free in the dark

No longer masked by the bright sunshine of the day

They invade my sleeping hours

Leaving me no where to hide

So how do I verbalise my worries?

Will talking about them make them feel more real?

I can not give them any more power than they already have

So I will keep them to myself for now

I will the night to pass, the clock to tick forward

bringing the darkest hours before the dawn

Dawn brings me my family, my reason, my being

Giving me something to distract me

I can almost feel the apprehension gripping on to my heart

The nervousness making my tummy turn to jelly

Yes I am worried

But I refuse to allow the dread a presence during the daylight hours

And soon enough the day does come

A shard of light piercing the dark night

The tiptoe of tint feet

And great big warm cuddles making everything alright

Untill the next night .......

This week I chose prompt number 5 - Pick an emotion that best represents your state of mind right now and write creatively on that theme.
