Nighttime
I sit here, the laptops light flashing against my desperate face.
Music bumping through my headphones, hoping for some relief from it.
4:07, and i know the sunlight will soon emerge from the horizon.
When that time comes, the world will begin to move and turn.

The day is when i sleep.
When i know(believe) i am safe.
Unfortunately i know my rest will be but for a lil while.
Because social duties will force me up.
And i will drag myself from bed.
Put on my shorts and t-shirt.
Eat my cereal.
And head off work.
O
This routine is killing me.
I guess all i can do is wait.
Wait for something . . . positive?
Maybe its my key to peace and reality.
I guess i should prepare soon.
For i know that today will be another battle.
