I lie awake in the dark. The only light I see is the dreary, red light from across the room. It is my alarm clock. The digital numbers changing as each minute passes. I want to sleep, but rest remains elusive. Next thing I know, it's 3am, and I'm still awake. Eventually, fatigue begins to get the better of me, and I can finally slip away into slumber.
However, I suddenly jolt awake. For some reason, tears are streaming down my face. I don't know why, but I feel horrible inside. Like someone was punching me, but all the pain went into my body and jumbled around. I sit up and wipe my tears away, but they take a bit to stop. It has been plaguing my body for some time now, but I chose to ignore it. It's not something that you can make go away easily.
Maybe my mind is telling me something. Or my heart.
I haven't listened to the latter in a while.
It is now 5:37am. The sun is rising.
