night

at night, when I am alone with my thoughts
my mind twists itself into complex knots

i dread the night
i love the night

the darkness is a comforting blanket
the darkness gave me silence, i drank it

the crickets chirp
the frogs croak
and my mind goes wild

night is when my mask slips
night is when my heart rips
night when I realize I'm broken
but It's always remained unspoken

in the day I can smile
and say I'm fine

but at night I can't stop myself from crying
night is when my nightmares become terrifying
