Thank you gloomy night, thank you for everything, thank you gloomy night, you have taught us many things.
You have taught us how we can keep walking and walking, in defiance of our injuries, on our wounded legs.
You have taught us how we can sleep peacefully, in defiance of our soreness, on the rigid bricks.
You have taught us how we can still harbor hopes and still keep seeking water even in all these dried wells.
You have taught us how we can stand looking at all these grim gray monotonous buildings and bridges.
You have taught us how we can tolerate walking beside all these condescending ashy high walls and fences.
You have taught us how we can accept feeling inferior when walking under these ugly high pitch-black pillars of all those bridges.
You have taught us how we can endure patiently sitting alone under these hapless trees, and keep resisting the recurrent memories of our hastily buried dreams,
when the feeble breeze reminds us through the quivering of their leaves.
You have tough us how we can resist the pain of sitting beside this black body of water without our beloved ones.
You have tough us how we can keep seeking consolation from its tiny waves and vent bitterly to its dimly lighted reddish black firmament.
You have taught us how we can endure seeing all these inexpressive, insensitive passersby's faces, and bear their emotionless careless gazes.
You have taught us how we can still keep seeking and seeking tender hearts, even amid all these heartless, lifeless chests.
Thank you gloomy night, thank you for everything, thank you gloomy night, you have taught us many things.

In our life we can learn from many things that are with us and gloomy nights are one of them.
Andy
That is true, Andy!
You are actually emphasizing the importance of extracting useful lessons from everything that we can encounter during our course of life, even if these lessons may seem very discouraging and depressive.
Good write Samer.
Thank you so much, I wish you a nice day!
I'm gonna have a gloomy day then. Well, gloomy night maybe (heehee).
But your absolute determination and your hopeful nature are still able to turn this gloomy day into a bright day and also give a practical example, for all human kinds, about how our cheerful nature is still able to change the weather forecast sometimes.
An immersive write.
A word I just learned from L.B.
Thank you Jerry for your nice remark.
I tried to paint a holistic picture about the relationship between some individuals and their surrounding environment which they feel deeply unrelated to it and also feel unable to cope with it efficiently.
Nevertheless, these unfavorable adverse circumstances still have many useful lessons that can make these individuals more stronger and more patient.
