In the darkness
Under the glow of neon
No longer touched by the moon
I watch as the night
Brings out a new version
Of the people
I see each day
He walks with his friends
In this dark
World of real but not
Of fun moments
And recklessness
Where the part of him
He hides
Comes to life
I watch these guys
In the night
In their kingdom
With the girls so
Full of life
Laughter
Fun
Love
Desire and Passion
On their minds
I long to be as free
As the night dwellers
To be reckless
Like them
And be free
To fly
And dance
And dream
And be
Another me
Without these scars
Without the pain
Without the burning sun
Holding me back
