Monsters!

Do you ever find that no matter how much you try to switch-off from your life at night, that all your worries and anxieties just seem even greater than they are during the day, so you can’t sleep?

I came across the lyrics of a song called ‘Monsters in my head’ that seem completely sum up for me the monsters I seem to have living in my head at times.

Wide eyes
The shadows keep on creeping in
Oh my, they don't ever let me win
All night, my confidence is wearing thin
They're waiting for me in the dark
Wait until I fall apart

Lately, when I fall asleep
All I see
Monsters runnin' 'round my head
I ain't getting no relief when I dream
The darkness never seem to end
I sing, "La, la, la-la-la-la-la"
Whenever I can hear those screams
Lately, when I fall asleep, all I see
Monsters runnin' 'round my head, 'round my head

Monsters runnin' 'round, around my head
I sing "La, la, la-la-la-la-la"
Whenever I can hear those screams
Lately when I fall asleep, all I see
Monsters runnin' 'round my head, 'round my head

New day, I'm hoping that I feel the sun
Can't say, I know that I gotta run
So jaded, tell me what I have become
They're waiting for me in the dark
Wait until I fall apart

Lately, when I fall asleep
All I see
Monsters runnin' 'round my head
I ain't getting no relief when I dream
The darkness never seem to end
I sing, "La, la, la-la-la-la-la"
Whenever I can hear those screams
Lately, when I fall asleep, all I see
Monsters runnin' 'round my head, 'round my head

Monsters runnin' 'round, around my head
I sing, "La, la, la-la-la-la-la"
Whenever I can hear those screams
Lately, when I fall asleep
All I see
Monsters runnin' 'round my head

Lately, when I fall asleep
All I see
Monsters runnin' 'round my head
I ain't getting no relief when I dream
The darkness never seems to end
I sing, "La, la, la-la-la-la-la"
Whenever I can hear those screams
Lately, when I fall asleep
All I see
Monsters runnin' 'round my head, 'round my head

Sometimes I think my brain just doesn’t like me, as it seems to do all it can at times to stop me from sleeping at night, and instead filling my mind with over exaggerated versions of the stresses, anxieties, and problems that fill my mind on a daily basis.
