Nocturnal
I have lived my life
For many years trying to please
Others more than myself,
Always worrying what people
Thought about me
And not even once relying
On what I thought about myself.
In many ways I wished I could
Be likable,
Wished to be normal
Wished to actually have a reason
To smile and get along with others,
In which I always found myself
Setting myself up for a fail
More than actually succeeding
For once in my life.
This is where my night becomes my day
And my day becomes my night.
In order for me to escape
My pain,
I must put all of the hate
Behind me,
Let go of the past
And forget what destroyed my
Mentality.
Avoiding humanity all together
By becoming nocturnal.
