Night Time

Adaeze Ozuzu

At night
It’s loud and clear now
All the feelings and emotions
I hear clearly now
The things that went unsaid 
The words unspoken
Saturated in the aether 
It’s funny how the mind works
How MY mind works
All day long I’m running 
On fumes, working 
On autopilot, busy as a bee
It’s loud and noisy 
My head keeps churning
The thoughts keep flowing
I can barely hear myself
Omg can you just SHUTUP! 
It’s hard to think 
Which is funny 
Cause all I do is thinking 
But then evening comes
And with it the cool air
The air less thick
And then comes the quiet
I can hear myself now
With nothing happening around 
And no one near 
I can feel it all
All the joys and pains
The happy and sad
It’s night and it’s quiet
It’s quiet but it’s so loud
