3 AM Bottles

3 AM Bottles

There are smiles here

There is laughter

Even in last moments

Even in day's death

When everything we know ends

Everything we don't seems to begin

Smiles and frowns

Laughter and tears

Circling around

In bottles of emotion

What do our eyes show?

It is 3 AM

We feel invincible, powerful

Young, loving,

Becoming people

Future society is ours

It is 3 AM

All grief behind us

In anticipation of what's next

Fears left for our failures later

Trying will lead to success

There are smiles here

There is laughter 

The world we've reached for with fingertips high

Is now in our hands

In 3 AM bottles

My mother would have called this " Growing Pains".
All the emotions that young people go through before they discover their path in life. this is not a crossroads. This is a major road junction with innumerable exits.
The clock does not exist when we are young. I remember it well.
Great poem.

This is quite ironic, I like the wordplay. It's true, one can feel invinvible at 3 AM!

This one also sounds like the musings of teenagers on the cusp of graduation, out on the town at 3am, way past their curfew, because it's almost graduation and they don't care anymore....am I close?

some of the choices made it a bit hard to read without tripping over my words but I did like it. Great poem :)
