Night time is either peace or chaos for some 

A chance to cry louder than they can during the day 

Or their only chance to enjoy a break 

There are those who love it

Who see beauty in knowing everyone around are asleep  

Almost as if they have the whole world to themselves  

everything else is shut down and they are the center of attention

And there are those who hate it

Who wish it would have never came

Almost as if the sun is their safety 

There are some who wish to rest

but the sound of a busy street during the day is no different than the sound their mind plays at night 

silence attract the thoughts they don’t want to remember

There are those who find love at night or lose it 

Or grieve over the loss

Or lay waiting for a text or call 

There is someone who doesn’t feel safe enough to sleep

Those who either lay with lovers or with anxiety 

And 

There are those like me

Who spend time wondering what the rest of the world is thinking
