I originally posted this using my name not my pen name. It's late, the night has touched my soul and desolation peeks from beneath it's day covers. Feeling the loneliness separate my whole being and bringing the demons to the forefront of my mind, here they multiply and scream anew. A tear carouses, drunkenly down my cheek, making a glistening spectacle of itself as it renews itself like a waterfall. Cascade after cascade forming puddles on my clothing, my skin, my inner being is awakened to sorrow and pathos, My abject emotional poverty and misery have become my night-time shroud. I seek solace in things uncomforting, the cake, the ice-cream, the chocolate despair creeps around the edges waiting like a thief to claim the remains, crawling into my veins and exploding fear and doubt in them. I sit my arms clenched around my knees, neither giving or taking comfort. a shiver passes through me as I stand apart and observe the creature I have become. Mastication of self stirs in the core of my being. I am afraid. I sit silent amidst the cacophony of my soul while the maelstrom of emotions struggle to the surface bringing with them every wrong and sin despising the courage that allows me no peace. I continue. To explore and subdue new territory. Morning comes and with it, new promise I put on my face and go into the world a brave conqueror, claiming victory over each insignificant obstacle as I sweep through the world triumphant and undaunted. No-one knows that the night has touched my soul |

Kethry.... You, my friend, are quite the writer! This piece is very powerful, maybe because I spend a lot of time in the wee hours doing exactly as you described! It is always good to know there are other insomniacs out there, sharing the moment! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
