The sound of the night

Its 1 a.m

T.v now is so lame

The sound of frogs vibrate through my window

I see their shadow as the light in the pool shines and I see them glow

The sound of crickets relaxes me

I hear my dogs barking as I hear a car pass by

This is the sound of the night

I lie hear in bed waiting for the next sound

Listen!

Its the sound of a helicopter coming from far

This one annoys me...I'm not gonna lie

The helicopter stops in the middle of my home

It likes to put the bright lights on my yard

I guess looking for someone who escaped a scene

This happens on most holidays

You see, I live right next to the bad neighborhoods

Just to let you know

Its mostly quiet around here

Damn...Sunrise is almost near

Tossing and turning still hearing that helicopter

I feel like calling the cops for this disaster

And this is the sound of the night today

I just wish that noise would go away

I close my eyes waiting anxiously for the noise to fade

Then I swear it felt like five minutes passed by

I woke up to a knock on my door.. I heard my mom say..

Get up Johee....its already 12 noon..are you gonna get off that bed today??
