Have you noticed the stillness of the night?
A sudden screech of brakes, a phone ringing or two,
But that's about it, the tranquillity, serene and stillness.
Lights flicker off and creaks in the staircase can be heard,
Returning people to their land of dreams to rest.
I wish I had a reason on why I stay up all night.
No, I'm not studying or doing anything productive.
No, I'm not catching up on friends or society.
No, I'm honestly not doing anything at all.
There isn't any reason for it, is there?
If only I had closed my eyes and called it a night.
Instead of spending so much time staring at blank spaces,
And blinding lights that should have switched off for the night,
Computer screens that give me headaches in return for relief,
Or the waiting of a notification light on the phone that I have switched off.
Stars shine brightest when it is the darkest.
Maybe the dull me would shine too,
In the midst of all the darkness and quietness.
And the non-existent people accompanying me into the night,
Instead of the annoying anticipation of giving up.
The night here is beautiful, so much life at the death of the day.
With the guiding stars and the crescent smiling like a Cheshire cat,
I wished I had a reason on why I stayed up tonight,
Instead of these thoughts that course through my body and veins.
I should turn in for the night, I really should.
Have you noticed the stillness of the night?
Because I do not make a sound.🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙
