It's 3am

I'm on the phone
No one's awake and I'm alone

It's 3am

The radio's on
Songs are played on lonely station

It's 3am

I'm in my bed
My eyes are open and sleep has fled

It's 3am

I'm on the balcony
The sky is dark and just quite scary

It's 3am

Some windows have lights
Could they also not sleep tonight

It's 3am

I'm still awake
When will life ever give me a break
Insomniac nights are the worst. And it's been going on like this for quite awhile.
Shi Em Mar 2018
but honey,
i knew that I was nothing
more than just your trophy
yet I let myself yearn for something more.
i deserve better than this.
Shi Em Jan 2018
I didn't forget;
I just chose not to remember.
[an ode to my pending assignments and projects]
Shi Em Jan 2018
do not be deceived with the illusion that I've painted;
you'd think I'd be the calm after the storm;
but inside this ball of sunshine,
I am nothing but a raging storm.
