Nighttime Walks
This is time that belongs to no one but me
I’ve always preferred the city at night
When crowds have all but disappeared
and the noise of the city has quieted to a whisper
When the only light comes from the moon and the stars.
Night brings a feeling of peace
What I love most about nighttime is the quiet
The way the world seems to just stop
There are no responsibilities
No expectations
Just me, the sky, and the ground beneath my feet
I could walk for hours in the dark
Spend the entire night alone with my thoughts
I don’t have to be anyone but myself at night
This time I’ve spent walking around
Is time that belongs to no one but me
Once the sun has set I feel free,
if only for a little while.
It’s time I spend doing things just for me
When the rest of the world is sleeping,
Is when I feel the most awake
