What is midnight? Is it the beginning of a new day, or the ending of a bad one? Is it the glass half full, or a glass half empty? There is a difference between 11:59 and 12:01, just as there is a difference between the stars and the moon.

Midnight is the time you get up and sneak a snack. The time where the parents are asleep and you can finally sneak out. But sometimes, for some people, its the time of night where the dark is consuming you in a pit of salty tears. Where a new day full of a fake smile has only begun, as the old one full of regret has ended. It's the time in between the pages, that goes by in seconds, yet you wish it never ended.

It is the time that I died.
