Nocturne

some nights

Some nights were hollow,

almost as if

these bones I've been in for years

didn't feel like home
  
  
  
Still is what I want to be

Befriend the waves in my chest

Some nights, the tides were high
 
  
Afraid to swim too far,

Afraid to be stranded on the shore
   
   
   
I'm so tired of being afraid

but some nights, I just am
