In the Dark

In The Dark It is so irritating The sun is up ruining the darkness The cool breezes of night I do not want the light The warmth All the people living their lives Give me the strangeness of the night The streets empty Only a few wandering Looking for survival In a world that doesn’t know they exist The smell of alcohol and piss fills the air Wafting around passed out drunks And hookers plying their trade I do not want the “normal” life of day The night...the darkness is my home And that is where I will stay
