The Night

In the dim moonlight filled with ominous silence all around

The only voice to be heard was a ‘tick-tock ‘ sound

The midnight thoughts inside me grew profound 

And the positive ones healed the wound 

The lamplight lit the diary page 

And with a pen, I freed my thoughts trapped in a cage 

With indeed a relaxed mind and soul 

Free from the thoughts on achieving my goal 

When I close my eyes am met with the same melodious voice singing a lullaby 

Instead of a coursebook page, I kept nearby 

And then I met a 16-year-old me 

Who was joyous and mentally free 

I gently opened my eyes 

And realized how time flies
