maybe it was just the dark that I was afraid of
maybe it had nothing to do with lack of motivation or commitment
or a fear of drowning in too much time
it could have just been the environment
the physical lack of brightness producing a natural human response
when the world is dark, we sleep
there is no point in opening our eyes when shutting existence out for a while always felt so comforting
but
i want to be a special girl
i want to be the only one awake
a strange creature thriving in a secret world of her own
i imagine writings, texts, hundreds and thousands of all the right words
i could learn a new language
i could read about movements, watch idealistic documentaries
all on my own time
with no one awake to break the spell
and yet, i struggle
getting out of bed to silence the alarm, freezing in the still air,
there is nothing in me that sees the point
why should i need so much time when everyone else was content?
why did i have to pretend i was invincible, that all the normal human weaknesses did not thrive inside my blood
no, in the night, the only thing i could truly feel was desire
and that was simply for sleep
it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
