That 3am wakeup

Anyone with anxiety, depression or mental health issues can sympathize with this.

Its that time again 3am,

most nights I wake and stare,

wishing I could drop my head here,

contemplating scenes past, present or yet to come,

some will probably never happen,

but what if is the question,

am I liked,

am I hated,

do people see me as a joke?

Its that time again 3am,

When will I find this off switch in my head...

 

Author's Note

I don't like talking about this often but as of late I feel in better place to do so.

[John the Baptist]

For some reason, 3 AM seems to be a bad time for many people. Even Napoleon once referred to the need for "three o'clock in the morning courage." It's the dead of night, the time we feel most alone and vulnerable, I guess. The worst part of it is not being able to get back to sleep. Thanks to the poet for speaking of his difficulties with it.
