Take Back the Night

I’ve been told I come

Alive in the night time.

But that’s really only

True when the moon shines.

Light giving me what

I need out of me.

Giving me security, trust,

And reason to be alive.

Too often I find my

Peace under the illuminated

Light in the shroud of

Night. Finding relation

In the uniqueness

Of situation were both in.

Only when the sun shine

And cloudy sky be damned

Do we get to be seen.

Otherwise the hundreds of

Stars and clouds block the

View of we. I wish

Upon thee. Let us be

Seen by others that don’t

Acknowledge our beauty.

So maybe one day,

We can have what was

Ours and alone truly.
