When the sun falls
Darkness rises
Not just in the sky,
But in my mind as well.
When the sun falls
My mind wakes up.
My brain reminds me of all the times I've screwed up, of all the times I've been hurt and broken.
Tears drip onto my pillow
As I stare at the ceiling.
I close my eyes
And see frights.
I open them again
I stare at the window and watch the sun rise again.
I get up,
Put on a smile,
And pretend I slept for hours.
