What do I do
when the whole world is asleep?

I'm alone.
It's dark.
I begin to question who I truly am
and why I'm even here.

When the whole world is asleep,
I get a burst of energy.
A burst of energy that makes me want to discover
what lays beyond the clouds,
and how I got here in the first place.

When the whole world is asleep,
no one can hurt me.
No one can be biased against the person I am,
except for myself.

When the whole world is asleep,
I feel like I'm suffocating.
Like I'm the only one left.
Like everything depends on me.

When the whole world is asleep,
my sanity falls apart and
I begin to wonder who really cares.

When the whole world is asleep,
I only wish that I could be asleep too.
