What Happens At Midnight

In some houses people are fast asleep, at midnight. In other houses teens are on their phones catching up on the latest gossip or finish at least one more chapter only to start another.

On the other side of the world were it is noon people are at school or work. Talking with friends or eating with family. Some might be posting the gossip or reading it.

In my house all is quiet and still at midnight. But on some nights this one girl is wide awake. At midnight she over thinks everything. She thinks about what happened that day and she can only think of the bad things. She tries to stop but the thoughts overwhelm her. Soon enough she is shaking and choking on her tears so she doesn't wake up the others. She finally had enough. She lived a good life until that midnight.

You never know what could happen at midnight. Sometimes it's nice and quiet and still. Other times its too still and too quiet but so violent. So sleep tight and don't let your thoughts bite..........Until midnight.
