Midnight
Russell Cerminaro
When I was a kid I didn't even know what midnight was
Until New Year's Eve and I stayed awake
Now I'm grown up and I'm lucky
If I fall asleep before 3am. I feel so dead
I stare through the dark. My eyes will adjust
So I can see what's going on all around me
It starts to get hot. How do I get comfortable in this?
I turn on my fan. It doesn't do much
I can't find the moon. The sky is too big to rummage through
There are no stars; the town's too bright
If I took a trip to outer space
I'd realize fast that it's always the night up there
But when I dream it's all bad stuff that happens to me
Kill the lights so they can scream
It's hard to believe whats real and fictional at best
What did I do? Now it's all a mess
