The Crow In the Night

I was at the bar tonight – I’m sorry, father I am the crow of the night, so don’t bother, Releasing me, for I have wings of flight already I bore these scars for far too long…the stars are my confetti… I’m feeling lonely tonight I’m not that bright, alright? I’m swimming in my emptiness I’m flying too high into this mess The tablet and I are in love again…love again… Technology has taken advantaged of me Then again, it makes me feel good and then… Someone has to bully me online…you see? I have been in so many bars To try to thrill me in many ways…many ways In His eyes, I am like a billion stars I’m just going through one of those days I must rise above the waters of woe I must drive out the lies of your goodbyes I am that lonesome crow, you know? Change is a challenging chore…yeah, no lies… I am restless and can’t seem to shut my mind down I am confident that tomorrow will lift up my frown Grieve not, love of mine, for I am no longer sad Leave not, darling angel, for I am no longer mad I am the silence amongst crowds I am the leather amongst your loads Your laundry pile makes me smile Because my own is less than style I believe there are brighter days out there I am the introvert amongst extroverts Tear away the sorrow from within oh so bear Comfort me in the shadows…it hurts… I’m soaring too low in my slight distress I’m ascending from my sheer emptiness I’m feeling no longer lonely tonight Will you be my one and only friend? You shed some light upon my night Will you be my best friend till the end? I’m descending from my horrifying fears I’m rising above the ashes of our nightmares

Good one - sometimes we need time away from technology to breathe. Sometimes people online can be rude and misunderstand who we really are. Loneliness is cured through productivity. There's a lot of guilt in some of these lines especially the first stanza. Forgive yourself and fly on, beautiful crow! Love you. Always, Laura

Exactly! Yeah, people are over-opinionated or just plain rude online. I need to be more productive I suppose.. guilt overflows in my writing as of lately for some reason unknown to me still. I will be writing happier poems soon, but must write out my old poems that I haven't published yet on here. Love you too! -JWE
