AES92 Midnight
You tried to sleep, but you just can’t. Turned your head to your right, took your phone from your nightstand “12.00” it was midnight and you had no idea why you couldn’t sleep. The time ticking felt like turning pages, it happens slowly but surely. In reality, you are alone, in your room, but you are not alone It has always been the two of you, you and your thoughts. Thoughts came into your head like the wind blowing the autumn leaves. They never stop coming.
Moving your body to every inch of your bed, still you couldn’t sleep. You got up and tiptoed to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Then you tried reading for a little bit, still didn’t work. Trying to stop the thoughts felt like trying to mop the ocean to you, impossible. You took a deep breath, as you started to follow the rhythm of your heartbeat. Sometimes the wind brings the worse kind of leaves, the ones you never want to see, the ones that you left behind but went with the breeze.
To others, the leaves are just leaves, no big deal they say. To you, those unwanted leaves feel like a blade that slashes your heart every time it comes with the wind. You just started in the mirror, then you got it. You can’t blame the blade for being sharp. But you can choose to hold a shield.
The next thing you know, a gold-tinted light hit your skin. The sun is up, you did it. You won the battle against your thoughts.
