Write Time

Alone in the night and day,  
Composing poems, writing diaries about life  
The moon and stars are my only company  
As I pour my heart out on paper, free from strife 

I capture my thoughts and feelings  
In ink and paper, they come alive  
Reflecting on the past and present,  
Reminiscing on moments that did thrive 

The world outside my window  
Seems so far away and yet so close  
I sit lost in my own world  
Writing down my emotions and feeling unfolds

As the night wears on  
And the world is fast asleep  
My mind is awake, alive and creating  
Words flow effortlessly, no promises to keep 

Hours pass by, the sun to rise  
My eyes grow tired, but my heart does not  
I’ll wait for the night to come once more  
So I can continue my craft, and not be forgot 

Through writing, I find solace  
In the loneliness that surrounds me  
My pen is my faithful companion  
As I dance in the silence, an escape key 

I learn about myself through my words  
Discovering my true essence, my desires, my dreams  
The blank pages before me  
Offer me freedom, joy, and extremes 

In this solitude, I find peace  
Away from the chaos of the world  
I can be my authentic self  
Through my diaries and poems, onwards unfurled 

And so, to be alone in the night and day  
Composing poems and writing diaries about life  
Is not a source of loneliness anymore  
But a way to express myself with grace and strife.
