Dim Bulb Poems | Examples

Middle of the Night

In the middle of the night,

In the plush comfort of a place called home

I lay down with my parents by my side

I sleep with eyes wide open

Fixed on the white ceiling above

On the shadows cast by a dim bulb

In a way it reflects my mind, i think

Filled with white noise amidst black calm

In the middle of the night,

A solitary tear falls down my cheek

Silently, slowly, hesitantly

As if it is testing the darkness for the eye of an onlooker

I make no attempt to brush it off

For it is the middle of the night

And it is the only time i can let myself be.
