As we all battle through the darkest of days Let’s all be thankful for the ones who stayed Because at your side there will be a few Who will hold your hand and guide you through Shoulders to cry on when you’re at your worst Friends you can lean on that you didn’t see at first People who understand and will always be there Reminding you of love when you feel nobody cares Isolation can take a toll, it’s relentless and unkind It plays on our weaknesses and leaves us blind We aren’t the only ones enduring its darkness Sometimes it’s hard to fathom its harshness It makes us feel lonely though we aren’t really alone And it provided a loyalty we have seldom known So let’s be thankful for those who kept us all sane And get past the  darkness and be together again

Being awake when the world is at rest Is probably the worst of life's many tests Lying awake in the dead of the night  With a thousand thoughts that shine so bright  Haunted by memories of a past so wild  Cigarette smoke lingers in the breeze so mild The minutes keep ticking over on the clock  And overthinking everything is barely a shock The flickering TV is just a tiny distraction Still unable to sleep, regardless of the action So many problems and so few solutions The silence of night in complete dissolution The days are long and the nights even longer With every second, the pain gets stronger Day in, day out it’s the same cold routine An endless looping of the same old scene It’s sad but true; there’s no rest for the weary Only vexing inhibitions that make you teary Insomnia is a curse, it's so dark and unkind It's hell on the body and even worse on the mind
