Darkness Dwells

There are nights I just cannot sleep.
I wander through my mind and find no restful comforts.
A contortion of warped recollections that only I can assail me with.

By day, I seem mostly normal.
By night, I writhe.
Wriggling under the thoughts of it all.
Withering under the spotlights of my own emotions.

I type in the darkness hoping that my fingers hit the correct keys.
Perhaps finding the ones that may unlock some hidden truth to free me,
But there is no such thing.
Just the endless questions that bellow through my nighttime.
Answers that hide in the shadows of thought within my mind.
Perched and waiting for me to almost feel some measure of peace.
The perfect time for them to swoop in and grasp me like a field mouse.....

The sun will begin to rise and again I'll carry on.
In my almost normal fashion.
