The dark of night...
I hate my nights
They have become so long
They feel so cold and dark
They seem like endless hard seasons
I sleep for ages
I'm trapped in these uncontrollable trances
The tedious journey from night to day
I wake feeling weary and drained
I cannot find solace in my dreams
They are corrupted with fear and gloom
I hate time and wish it paces faster
To take me to a more hopeful day
I yearn to escape my dour nights
They depress the happiness in me
Nighttime seeks to completely devour me
And release the dark ages of my soul
I want to defy the night
Fight it with good dreams and hope and light
Defeat it using joy and optimism
Surely a night as bright as day will come!
Nighttime
