Waiting up for no one,
Hoping for a sign,
Watching for a movement,
Dreaming of a white flag,
I'm awake,
Why?
The dark,
Terrifies me, more than it should,
More than it has,
Less than it will,
The unknown,
Before so well embraced,
Now is cowered before,
Optimism pull me through,
Forgive me this unpleasant chore.
