an inner struggle
first draft, want some opinions

Night falls, darkness settles. I feel it, that over bearing sense of loneliness. 
When day breaks that ghost leaves me, only to return at twilight. I lay awake praying for a dreamless sleep.

While I sleep I dream of times, friends and places, love and loss. A better time as I reflect, interestingly though, during that time I wasn’t happy either. I thought of times gone by and things in retrospect. How does one become that way, un-content with his life in any situation?

The never ending trials of life pass me by, showing me how easy it was before. Before responsibility, before the pain of love, looking back, kicking myself for my outbursts and tantrums over things that now I wish I had done. What can I do? Change; I look at my faults and failures, its time to show myself and the world what I really am.

Night falls, darkness settles. no feeling, no more ghosts, no more dreamless nights.  Life now has a purpose, its time for me to step up and go for it.
