Night

When the sun goes down and the stars come out
That's the time I fear the most.
Hide under my covers and stifle a shout
No one to save me from my ghosts.

No daytime laughter, no need to smile
Just need time for my reality to set in
Wishing to be numb and all the while
I'm hoping the pain isn't going to win

I need a distraction, I need it soon!
Thoughts of dying echo through my brain
My wide eyes stare at the unforgiving moon
Anything to end this pain
