Seek Shelter

Another lonely night. Shallow buzz of cars passing by reminds me the world is awake, Though my mind fights to claim otherwise A path lighted my moon glow. Door locked, I have never found the key. My energy is antsy but my mind, my feet stay planted in apprehension I shrink into the smallest version of myself, The one I feel most at home with. The one most comfortable with no passing glances. Sadness seeps through the cracks I swore I'd repaired. Silence screams so loud I can almost hear it, And darkness hugs me like a friend. -s.grace
