Lie awake, here in the dark, alone with not a soul to disturb, wishing to reach out and feel the presence of another beside you. Lie awake, avoid your dreams, for they are your desires and wishes manifested, the embodiment of all your heart's hopes and dreams.
Lie here and sigh, lie here and cry, lie here until night falls again, until your eyes grow tired and force you back where you hate to be. But sleep, it can also be a blessing, for you can no longer allow your thoughts to overwhelm you and, just for a moment, a blink of an eye, you are at peace, you are no longer you, trapped in a vessel you wish to escape, to break away from, to rid yourself of.
Its only when you have to step outside, when hunger forces you to reenter society, that you realise how much you love the warmth of the sun on your skin, but your mind wishes to retreat. It cant handle the spotlight shone on all the vulnerable thoughts and dark corners of your mind, where your true self lies.
To be known terrifies it so.
