Nonexistent Nights

Days don’t feel like they exist anymore
Memories of midnight
Laughing on the floor
About the same old joke
Only I still find funny
I miss long days and making memories
But the days are only getting shorter
And winter’s coming
I’m kind of scared
But I won’t be running

seems like you may be a bit anxious about the shorter days, and the winter coming...so take advantage of those longer nights and remember them fondly....by the way, I hate short days... I love light, it helps my brain feel healthy....love early fall with the ever-changing colors....I don't fear winter but I'm not as creative....well said Cat, love the poem!
Best, B

Thank you so much- not long ago at all I used to hate winter because the lack of
sun made me feel sad and sluggish but I’ve found ways to work past it! I love light too, and now winter and nighttime are my FAVORITE times. Thank you for the lovely review! 💙

This is a mixture of ambivalent feelings with that I feel anxiety riddled throughout it from the indecision of how to feel.
I think that is normal for us.
The unknown is scary, but it is all in our heads.
There is no danger.

Thank you so much for the review. I agree, the darkest danger is often in our own heads. Much appreciated.

Sounds like a comment on life. Yes, the days are getting shorter for all of us. The long days will return, of course. But in the end, it's all a one way trip.

Thank you so much for the review- it’s much appreciated.

not running away or running towards....just letting the winter come at its leisure....and feeling content to ride it out...or not see the next spring...whatever ....come what may.

I love this time of year. It's very angst ridden and right up my alley. I feel I write a little better during this time of year. Because it makes me appreciate the beauty of spring and summer more, as well as their fleeting ways. This time of year makes me feel like I'm dreaming numbly while still awake. Love this poem VC.

I completely agree, there’s a dark mysteriousness that’s so wonderful at this time of year and makes writing easier! I always find myself writing more and I think it’s also because we appreciate spring and summer more. Thank you so much for the review! Dreaming numbly while awake is the absolute best way to describe how the dark time of the year feels. It felt like I wrote this myself! Haha, thank you again.
