The Unpassable Night

By Vrunda Sakure

This day felt like an unpassable night,

Millions of thoughts running inside my mind.

Thoughts on you, thoughts about me 

The noon of thought inside the dead of midnight 

Not the kind of girl who likes staying up late at night 

But these million thoughts keep me awake all night,

Will I succeed, will i do great 

Those thoughts of self-doubt keep me awake.

And if I slept before midnight, it’s like I wasted a day

As the night gets darker, the thoughts become shady 

And now I’m here in the moonless midnight of my mind 

Taking long walks with my tangled thoughts on the front porch at midnight 

And to this day, every day felt like an unpassable night.
