off

Lights show us what we are good at.
I’m good at being alone.
I guess that’s why I awake at night.
When the lights are far far away.
And they never ask me to stay.

Wow KATIE!.... this is such a succinctly delivered and powerful bubble of insight into the mind of depression and the nature of loneliness!!... at least that was my impression.... one question ~ was that third line supposed to read "..that's why I LIE awake at night?"... because LIE wasn't there!! ~ just curious!!.....ALL STARS!!.... well done dear poet sister!!......LOVE and ROCKETS!!.....T xo ?☀✴✳

Thanks man, and nope i used "awake" instead of "wake up" because I preferred the syntax, glad you enjoyed it :)
