Analysis of Dark Night Day
Innocent Dreamer fear can only be imagined.
You have spooked yourself into despondency.
Deserter, your comfort is always Here.
Your revenge, your tears, your laughter,
Lay in the shadows of Perception.
You are Safe, Never forsaken, never unLoved.
Why do you go on, and on, and on
With waggish lunacy?
Is it boredom?
Or is it because the Hunger Game is too Sensational?
Has your Costume become too unbearable?
We laughed with mirth and amusement while We
designed it.
Have you forgotten insanity cannot be understood,
Only then will you remember Day while culled into the Play of Night.

About this poem
Written at a time when despair was my daily friend. I lost my faith in religion, my safety net. I had to find a new way of thinking, feeling, and living.
