Greetings ,
Night. They world call it the hours of rest, an hour of pause for life.But hey it’s just not as simple as that. even at least not for everyone. The night does not make promises, and doesn’t give you peace.
Then you hear people saying, ‘Young hearts sleep easy i say fucking not!.’ Well, maybe for them . But for me? Night is a battleground that never leaves me. Or my mind's a storm, and a relentless wave pounding itself against itself. I close my eyes, but the chaos doesn’t recede. Everything is silent, and I hear that noise so loud in my head.
They call it rest. I call it a lie.
Night does not heal your heart when it carries weights nobody sees believe me it haunts. It pulls out every memory, and even every regret, every what if you thought you buried in the daylight. You lay there, awake, your eyes open staring up at the ceiling, hoping that this never ending cycle of thought has no end.
Night is not peaceful 😩 . It’s raw. That's when the world takes everything away except your truth, except your fears, except your unexpressed words. It stings some nights more than anything daylight could throw at you.
But here is the thing: night does not kill you. It tests you the reality and let feel it. It wears you down, and exposes the thing that was hidden underneath. It might just teach you to endure and just do it may be for unknown time. Just because the darkest hours end with dawn.
Not for everyone, so no, night is not for sleep. For those of us who fight battles no one sees. It’s for dreamers too restless to dream, hearts too loud to hush.
Night is an Paradox: it’s time to rest, but it’s time you’re out there. Maybe that’s its cruel beauty. It does not let you to hide. It makes you look at you.
And when the sun finally rises? Then you know you made it through another night. You’ve battled the shadows and kept from falling down. Alive, maybe not whole, maybe not rested.
Night is no escape. But it’s a reminder. A cruel, never relenting reminder that the dark is simply that, reminding you, that you’re still here.
Regards!
