Night
June 21, 2017
I wake up and life is great
“Today’s the day. I will not hate”
And then the day creeps along
It’s afternoon now night won’t be here for long
It’s evening now, but I’m still fine
No need to worry the day is still mine
It’s nine o’clock, ten, and now half past eleven
My thoughts are racing at a speed of ten times seven
Why does this only happen at night
This happens to everyone, right
Maybe if I just go to sleep
I roll over and tell my brain not to make a peep
I drift away from this manic state
I wake up and life is great…
