Night


Have you ever been scared to sleep? Have you been scared to see the dawn? Because each time you close your eyes you fear what might be going on? You fear that if you sleep you will feel peace but when you open your eyes again you'll be awoken with grief. There is no knowing what the day will bring and so you stay awake in fear that if you sleep the world will find more to take.
