Alone at midnight [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Have you ever been alone with midnight

Not the midnight hour, but the midnight condition

Alone, with your darkest emotions

Alone, with your own reflection

Tell me the story of that fight

The one you raged with your own might

Where you fought against your own mind

Striving to get back to humankind

Have you ever been alone at midnight

Grasping at a fleeing string of light

Alone, in the presence of darkness

Alone, without any sort of egress

Tell me the story of that search

The one where surrounded by shadows

Thinking you’d never see again tomorrow

Searching for an exit window

Have you ever been alone with midnight

Realized, there was only one way out

That you needed to give up in order to win

That the only way out, was going within

Have you?
