How Can I Love the Night

This torment 
that i’ve been going through
When will this end?

Day and night passed
But even the day feels night
The gloomy and cloudy of every season
Is the only thing that I see.

What is summer?
What is day?
When all I can see is darkness
Even in the middle of a sunny day.

Rainy, Cloudy, stormy
Is  what I’m used to
Give me sunny give me summer
But even in this season all is see is dullness.


They say darkness is  peaceful
Oh really? I say
I don’t think so
‘Coz for me it feels torture.

Maybe someday I would
–I can appreciate the night
I wish I may, I wish I might
But I can’t if darkness of the night is the only thing I see.

Give me a glimpse of light 
And I would appreciate the night
Hand me a bit of gleam
And maybe I can learn to embrace the darkness.
