I am awake all night, when the sky is dark and the moon is bright.
I like the quiet and the peace, the silence of the world fast asleep.
People often ask me why don't I just take a tylenol pm and go to bed?
They say it's easy to lay still and nullify the thoughts in my head.
I respectfully disagree. Things are not that way at all for me.
My brain works harder when the sun has set, rest comes once it rises again.
When I lay in bed my legs get achey, my mind begins to stir and I get shaky.
Just because I don't rise with the birds, doesn't mean I'm lazy.
Active at night, for time eternal... That's why I tell people, I am nocturnal.
