In the night

Poem

11 Jul

Written By Anika Drysdale

In the night and the darkness

What is it that your mind turns to?

Is it the horrors that still haunt you?

Or the peace that comes with sleep?

Sleep is what you should be doing

But I know it can be far away

I’ve had times I can’t turn off

And others I can’t stay awake!

It’s a funny thing with pain

When you’re lonely in the night

You think you cannot live with it

Because it’s playing on your mind

We all need sleep for healing

Restoration for our lives

We should be up in the day

But that doesn’t always happen

Night time can be cold and lonely

Or it can give you everything

Sleep is for the weary one

Giving you the joy in life.

In all you read of Anika Speaks, it is not talking as a medical professional, or in any way inferring that your child is on the Autism Spectrum. There are common markers of the condition talked about and discussed, but that DOES NOT infer your child is on the spectrum.  ONLY when your child has been diagnosed are they officially on the spectrum. They take no responsibility for any misunderstanding. This an experiential site only and may give markers of autism, but no diagnostician is in any way represented unless directly written on that particular piece of work.  In the posts uploaded, any reference to autism can give you pointers of it but is not the full complement of autism factors in any way. Anika Speaks would like to wish you all every blessing and a greater understanding of what autism can mean, in order to help guide you to see some ways you can deal with different situations.  Thank you.
