Modern Day Atlas
The night is still young as the clock strikes midnight
Anxiety and shame worse than the sleep deprivation
No abate in concern is near with no end in sight
Grogginess kicks in and with seemingly no need to fight
No shrug could possibly cure the sensation
The night is still young as the clock strikes midnight
Mind wandering, blurry images of light
Searching throughout for a spiritual resuscitation
No abate in concern is near with no end in sight
Lower end of the spectrum between fear and might
Standing, sitting, staring, looking for an implication
The night is still young as the clock strikes midnight
It came quickly and left just as so ostensibly in spite
Eyes opening and closing, dreaming of a better situation
No abate in concern is near with no end in sight
Starting to write begins the end of the plight
Burden lifted off of my shoulders like Hercules' invitation
The night is still young as the clock strikes midnight
No abate in concern is near with no end in sight
