Night Catches Me

Night Catches Me and makes me fall captive to the serenity of the light-less night sky. The lack of what's prevalent in the day time is the very thing that intrigues me and causes me restless and sleepless evenings. I am a prisoner to the loud domestic fights and entanglements of near by neighbors. The foots steps of the dancing Africans over head, make me chuckle because I fear they are rhythm-less, yet my head manages to nod ever so timely to the melodic beats of their ritualistic chants.

Midnight walks become much needed vacations enabling me away from the sunlit problems plaguing me only hours prior...I am nocturnal by nature, diurnal by force. I survive on fumes from the prior days activities.

Night catches me, interrogates me and then questions my sanity. It slows down the thoughts of the day and forces me to hate that I have become a predictable creature of habit. Yet, everything that I've grown to loath about the hours after 6 pm are the very things that compose my character. I'm an obsessive night owl that in turn has become demonized by his sleep aid pill popping insomnia troubled alter ego.

Night catches me and causes me to download illegal forms of media. The boredom brought by a seemingly dangerous and idle mind often causes me strife.

Night catches me and I cant escape the allure that comes along with it. I find comfort in knowing that what I love scares and deters many. The dark unknown keeps many at bay, yet I'm drawn by the magnetism of it all.

Night catches me and won't let me go
