The Trickster

In my head

I have a trickster laying quietly
Somewhere hidden in my head,
When he thinks it’s time to play
Is when I’m climbing into bed!!!

He quietly resides inside
Not a peep throughout the day,
But laying down my weary head
And out he comes to play!!!

The sun has disappeared
And my day is done,
I lay and close my eyes
But out he comes for fun!!!

My trickster steals my happy memories
Then opens the door wide,
He throws in every stress and worry
From which I’ve tried to hide!!!

I know not to trust either
The thoughts or memories he shows,
But he ensures sleep is elusive
By cunningly showing my woes!!!

So I open my eyes
And sit up straight,
I hear my trickster laugh
As I accept my fate!!!
