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
