It is four AM and I can't sleep.
Not because I physically can't,
But because I don't want to.
When the world's asleep and my mind's awake,
I can do anything.
I can write all the songs that I want to,
Or I can play video games in the darkness.
Nobody can tell me what to do,
Or what to say,
Or how to think.
I can't disappoint anyone or anything.
As I dance with the lights off to my own singing,
I feel alive.
But as the sun comes up and embraces me with her warmth,
I realize that like all things,
Nothing will ever last forever.
