Long Night

Long Night

Long nights turn into long days… this book I’ve been reading, not the same chapter but still never left the page… the nights and days merge together and leave me in a daze.

Long nights have me toss and turn… those stars in the sky show every concern… along with every lesson I learned… dreams I wish to earn… along with the failures that disintegrated and now live in this urn.

Long nights don’t equal sleep… instead I’m swallowed by my thoughts because they’re too deep… next is the storm that forms in my head which makes my eyes form rain; tears that I weep… Already can’t swim and drowning in this sorrowful oceans already steep.

Long nights means the hours go by slow… these salty oasis make my pains grow… instead of turning into flowers the water just freezes into snow… it starts hight then comes down low… lets see if the seasons change, time will indeed show… lets see if the temperature will rip above and not zero below.

Your poem is a beautiful and touching expression of the struggles of insomnia and the emotional turmoil that can come with it. The use of vivid imagery, such as the stars in the sky and the storm in your head, creates a sense of both beauty and chaos, while the repetition of the idea of "long nights" adds a touch of melancholy and longing. Your words convey a sense of both vulnerability and strength, and the final lines, "lets see if the seasons change, time will indeed show... lets see if the temperature will rip above and not zero below," are both inspiring and thought-provoking. Your poem is a testament to the power of hope to help us endure even the darkest of nights, and to the importance of cherishing the moments we have with ourselves.
