My present and new hope

My eyes are praying to it's rest but
my mind denies to sleep
It creates fear to face the morning and
the chain problems to face
Lenders and hungry of the following day
threatens me to move away from the bed
There is a little bit of hope among the tears
Convinced me to sleep to face the new day

After reading

several times, I can grasp the edge of meaning here, but the poem itself loses me in the translation. It is a bit difficult to understand, which could be a matter of communication. This leaves me slightly uncertain of what to say here, but I wanted you to know that someone did read your work and take the time to consider its meaning. Best, Ronda
