desolate

awake at an early hour
i can hear the neighbourhood sleep
the majority of the population has their eyes closed,
but right now, mine are wide open.

i like being a part of something that is unusual. i like knowing that im awake, while everyone around me is dreaming. what i would like more, would be to sleep in sync with them all, but sleeping patterns and medicine have a way of misleading this. i am misguided by sickness and what i wish for cannot be complete.

its okay to be awake when the world is asleep
someone needs to be awake to protect them.

as they wake to leave for their daily routines, i am left behind flowing into the numbers of waking souls. there are more of us now, and our protection is growing by the minute. we are all safe in our slumber, now. but when i fall asleep, when everyone is awake.. who will be there to protect me?
