Better?

I can't sleep at night,
But I'll sleep all day.
Funny?
Not really.
Irony?
None of that either.
Sensible?
Reasonable?
Uncontrollable?
Yes.

During the day,
The world is bright,
Shining a light,
Through my dark soul.
It hurts.

During the night,
There is only black.
No reminders,
Of what I lack.
Feel safe.

During the day,
I'm listening,
Always listening,
To the bickering.
Too much.

During the night,
I'm alone,
Peace throughout,
Peace in my home.
Better.

Why should I sleep,
At night,
When the day,
Is harsh,
When the night,
Is better?
