In the nights
There is so much to
dread, there is so much to wait
for and yet I can't
shake off the feeling
that this will not end. When will
this end? When will they
stop, cease to exist? I
used to love the night, hearing
the crickets when I sleep;
the footsteps from up-
stairs, the cool wind coming in,
and when the bright lights
go off. Now all I
can feel is the ghost trail-
ing footsteps of them.
What was not feared is
now feared. What is prologue
is past. How can I
be pacified when the
whispers of them are on me?
The conditions are dire.
Will it get better?
The restless sleep continues
with no end in sight. Will I
ever see my dreams again
or can I grow still?
Every day there is always a challenge
to face. But with hope,
your friends by your side,
and looking forward
for the future, you can live
through it. When you can't
find hope, just find at
least one thing to look forward
to. One thing towards
the future.
One thing.
These are the nights.
