Night-Time

"In the light of day, we are ceaselessly, inadvertently trying to reflect versions of ourselves. And thus, night allures." Quote by poet Darkness has fallen The shadows cover me I can stop my reflections Within these mild-minutes Safe are my imperfections Guarded from the darts they shoot. Let me rest for tonight Mend the pseudo-patches Mere moments not hold their convictions No intruders, commentators No speech of deprecation; I can dress their part When the light falls again. 11th April 2023

i really enjoyed this little reflective piece, and i particularly like the last two lines..(i think a dash after 'patches' and 'moments' would add clarity, and catch the typo on line 6) congrats on your win in my contest! :)

Thank you, Charlotte! I debated for long if I should add a punctuation after patches. Thank you for suggesting and my placement in the contest:)
