The quiet is overwhelming
The darkness seems to spread
It's 3:30 am and my mind knows no rest
I clutch my bedsheets
My eyes begin to water
I feel it bubbling up
But I must stay quiet
My sister next to me
Unaware and fast asleep
The tears start rolling down
It's getting hard to breathe
My eyesight gets blurry
My nose is runny
I wipe my tears and hope no one hears me
I want it to stop
I want it to end
I take a deep breath
In and out
It's now 4 am
I need to get up in 2 hours
Time to start anew
I put my earbuds in and let the soft melodies play
They transport me to another world
And distract me
It's the reason I could put a smile on my face
It's now 6 am
Time to start the day
