The blackness of out becomes that of in
An uneven sleep brings some relief from the horrors of the day
Part of me hopes not to wake
To get relief from the crushing weight of others
Part of me needs to wake
Believing it can not become much worse
My dreams allow little rest
Roused from slumber
The sun peeks above the horizon
Upward it creeps
Darkness of night given light
Shining upon the earth
A glow
Brilliant
Blinding
Life giving
To replace the sorrow of one
A new day given
To once again strive
To once again try
To once again hope
For just one moment
For just one second
To feel a slight bit of joy
To know just a small period of happiness
To once again not wish to die
