Stagnant Soars - poetry

from within

I had always been an early bird

but night time was where I found peace

as a kid the dark scared me, I never wanted to be alone

but some nights I stayed up late just to be that

the world was quiet and unbothered

and the moon lit up the sky along with stars

I was safe in the darkness of the night and no longer scared

no one was around, no one needed me and I didn't need to hide

as much as I thought I was happy at night

I still cried and felt anxiety

I still pondered and wanted my world to stop

I couldn't run away from my emotions, no matter what time of day

that was when I realized the disturbance wasn't from the outside world...

it was from within.
