| ANOTHER NIGHT |
| Though the moon beams, the stars are shining bright And my lamp's burning, I still can't see the light! The radio is playing every happy song it can play But, yet, I can't find a smile through the tears in the way! My heart sinks lower as I try to think of vibrant, content thoughts that are real And my mind keeps replaying memories that I've fought so hard to conceal! Wandering around the house, trying to find something to do However, no matter what, I can't seem to focus away from the reality coming true! Hearing people talk about their problems and what their life is like, Still doesn't help me get past my loneliness tonight! Reading a book, and trying to imagine myself as the main star on stage, Yet, the characters' love and happiness seems an eternity away! Glaring up at the moon, praying to see some hope, But, all I see is the glow making horroring shadows! Lighting up a cigarette, thinking it will take down this wall Recalling that I don't remember when it even became nightfall! Walking like a zombie, I lie down to sleep for awhile But the creeping shadows and sounds keep me up for another night! Patricia Gail Wilson (22) Monday, September 3, 2001 @ 10:42 p.m. |
