The Voice
Night time is a desolate time.
When people retire from the day
and leave the outside alone.
Our minds take us on a walk;
to a place where fear is deafening and the bravery is quiet.
"Being alone and being by yourself are two different things,"
you hear the voice say.
Day time is a lonely time.
When people are lively and socialable,
but inside they're fighting a battle we don't know about.
The illumination hurts your eyes, so your mind shields away the light,
and brings you to a place.
A place that you cannot escape until it's time.
A place where your mind talks to you and speaks only one line:
"Being alone and being by yourself are two different things."
The voice finally stops, and lets your retire for the night,
but your eyes come back into focus
until you see,
that your mind took you to a place that left you vulnerable and open,
a quiet place,
a lonely place;
