Dark Hours

Absence of day draws night and night terrors

Are my frenemies!

Absence of day draws night and my nights are filled with silent rage that rages to the bone!

This has been my pubescent adolescent hell since yesterday year when mommy would hold me! She would assure me things are alright no matter what those nights were like!

Absence of day draws night and I fucking hate nights! Which causes me to make feeble attempts to stretch out the days chasing Mr. Sun as if he runs instead of burns skin! See Mr Sun is my friend and has been for years but just like a rumored father he shows his best side then leaves .... he’s a dark architect because he creates night in his absence!

The worst things happens at night but I’ve been told different as an adult! The night is a sensual demon that can make you happy also! Why doesn’t night try as hard to bring me joy then? Why am I terrorized by the terrors of the night? So many questions of stresses and deliberations I’m facing an amazing conundrum! That maybe I’ve had it all wrong! Dr King said we should pray for our enemies! So do I pray for night? Do I hate Mr Sun for always leaving or do I try to love em both equally like twin girls?

Absence of day draws night and let him draw if that’s Mr. Sun’s talent because some summers he just tends to be a malicious show off anyway! Those days I don’t want night but I prefer his mild mannered cousin ... Shade!
