I don't want to have to wait around all night
For answers
Stare at the unchanging pool of the sky
And listen to the few cars go by
Waiting
I wish it was in the sun
That the answers were delivered
Because the world is vibrant
It's awake
It's alive
The dawn cracks an eggshell open into a new day
Each day spreading new joy
But I'm stuck in darkness
I can't go outside
I have no light to bear
No map to wade through the darkness
Animals and strange sounds
Scare me enough to hide away
No one else around to help
No one's around to help
1:00am
Isn't too far fetched
It may be deep in the night
But it's the first point
Where everyone has fallen asleep
And the wait begins
2:00am
Still small numbers
The arduous wait hasn't begun fully
3:00am
High rise noon
When the black of the window
Feels like a void
4:00am
And the void is getting closer
And I could just jump inside
5:00am
Still waiting
5 hours of sounds ringing in my ears
And a petty solitude
6:00am
Eyes heavy
Sweating
Tired
Head spinning
An out of body experience
I'm so tired
I can't even grasp time
And now I have to wait even longer
Until I can sleep again
The wait never ends
