An Average Night

The loneliest day of my life.

Everything turns black and white.

Dull like a pocket knife.

Take my own life I might. 


The only light is gray.

How I wish it were rich black.

As I sit where I stay. 

I wait for night to attack. 


A party under the moon.

A dance with masks.

A little piece of heaven is soon. 

I don't know how much longer I can last.


All I have to do is pretend. 

Eventually, all will end.


The author's comments:

Most of the day I am alone. I don't have many friends in my classes and right after school, I go to work till after dark. The only time I get to be free is at night. Once the moon is in the air I am free to wonder and not be alone. This poem reflects how I feel through most of the day until the sun goes down.
