Sleepless Nights
The past lingers close enough to touch,
Your collection of stories propelled in time
Time being controlled by the night, moving fast and then slow and back again
The wee hours of the morning provide memories of all the "yous" left behind.
The happy you, the frozen you, the scared you, the evil you
A representation of how you're still standing today
Bad people don't exist, good people aren't real either
We're all a mixture of various levels of grey.
The people shouting the loudest "I'm one of the good ones" -
It's almost guaranteed they're not
Acceptance - of the good and the bad
Growth and learning to improve
The important skills to learn
While the melancholy videos play in your head
Reminding you of all the loss, roads less taken
The past is the past, but memories live on
Surpassing us, as our days become long gone
Take every chance, live every story
Embrace the chaos in our society, the norm
Chances not taken, are moments that are lost
And if you get lost, on your journey to yourself
Look up at the sky, the brightest star
Follow it north, it'll guide you along.
A constant reminder -
No one's ever truly alone
About the Creator

I grew up in Miami, which is where I became obsessed with writing. I started with poetry at 9, eventually moving towards short stories and novels.
Fun fact: At 11 I won a contest that got one of my poems published in book.
