A cold autumn night staring at the clock as time passes quickly,

reading.

Opening a window and sticking your head outside in order to get some fresh air,

thinking.

Receiving a late text message or a phone call,

writing.

Learning new ideas for a short period,

studying.

Hearing an unsettling noise which leads you to ultimately turn off the lights,

complying.

Living in a dark room in silence,

intensifying.

Laying on your bed,

crying.

Letting go of everything and everyone from the past,

lying.

Walking around the room in circles,

denying.

Wondering when this will all end,

justifying.

Dreaming as soon as you close your eyes,

trying.
