Darkness

hboo

there's something beautiful about staying up all night, to feel the darkness. the sun is gone everyone's asleep and your alone. it's a strange kind of solitude or your own personal hell. the night is when all the secrets wake from their slumber. kids sneak out to party drink and have sex. nothing they'd ever attempt under the blinding rays of the sunlight. night is when you fight every demon that resides in your mind. all the whispers turn to screams. the night is when true feelings are reaveled. or when yourself lonely and hurting lets your mind take autopilot and thoughts of the darkness persisting forever decide to end it all. night is so beautiful it's like taking off a mask suppressing the need to be so perfect . those of us who are at ease with our being go to sleep. but the ones who realize we are nothing more than dolls in this world that is when we come alive. so forgive me for going to sleep tonight to rest my tired eyes. I can't bear the thought that the world we live in is nothing more than a vicious lie.
