• Night

    It falls
    and I rise
    stronger and renewed
    hidden in the shadows
    as I hide from the light
    It falls
    and I rise
    joyous and alive
    clinging to the feeling
    when I usually push away
    It falls
    and I rise
    desperate yet calm
    heart racing wildly
    blood coursing through me
    It falls
    and I rise
    feral and unhindered
    fearing no consequence
    where consequence should mean most
    It falls
    and I rise
    careless and free
    running through this playground
    only eight hours deep
    It falls
    and I rise
    satisfied yet somber
    savoring the darkness
    before the light comes again
    It rises
    and I fall
    frustrated and alone
    slipping on the mask
    only moonlight can thaw
