Quiet Nights

Slumber's Absence has come again, to wake me in the night. Freeing me from my nightmares, at the cost of my dreams.

Sleep?

It's nothing more than a wish for me-

Longing for such is the closest I've ever come

Entire nights pass over my eyes

Not a peep, except from within-

Commotion within is merely a consequence of silent surroundings

Echoes of my cry scream through quiet nights

About the Creator

JM

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
