It keeps me awake at night,
Though not in the traditional sense.
I don't toss or turn,
I break and I vent.
When my head hits the pillow the dam suddenly breaks,
Releasing all my emotions I've hidden throughout the day.
There's something comforting about the darkness of the night.
I confide in it.
But sleep is never on my mind.
Why rest when the darkness makes me feel so light?
