At Night

At night
Things can get bad
But whatever you do, don’t worry and don’t be sad.
At night
The dark can take control of you.
Even if you don’t want it to.
At night
We wonder what will happen the next day.
And think about the things people say.
At night
Some stay up until Sunrise,
Others just lay there closing their eyes.
At night
We try to forget about the hate.
And realize we can’t just sit around and wait.
At night
Daylight seems so far away.
So we either wait or we pray.
At night
Someone’s pillow is filled with tears.
While another’s mind is filled with fears.
At night
We all do different things to help us feel like we’ll all be okay.
But we all know, without change, it’ll be the same everyday.
