At Night

Ever felt like you are being yourself and not being yourself both at the same time? Like you are sweeping in a whirlwind of emotions of what’s right and what’s not and what’s supposed to be? To be honest I know, we all felt like that even for once in our life.
You know a new day brings new hope, new ambitions and it’s like a spirit is ignited once again within you to make you work for what you dream and to standup for what you believe in. That’s the thing about dawn right, it’s like you find yourself once more. Like you step out from the dark into light, into hope.

But what if you feel a little lost during daytime? The dawn which was supposed to  bring you light also brings in insecurities? What am I wrong? The self consciousness that sometimes envelops you from the fear of getting judged and not being enough, in the broad daylight. Didn’t you ever felt that, even for once? You know this is confusing, I am myself finding it hard to frame the sentences. And I know many of you won’t accept this. But accept what? Let me tell you.
Night, yes at night. You know they say that night brings the darkness from within you, it’s during this time you cry, cry for what happened or what’s happening. You cry for yourself because you can’t show your scars during the day you can’t be vulnerable during the day.

You see it’s easier during the night, it’s easier to be yourself, it’s easier to live with your demons. You wear your heart on our sleeves during the night and the conversations seems lighter and easier. Though there’s this constant fear somewhere within you, of your heart getting crushed and being too vulnerable that you end up regretting later. But this is the thing about night, you feel a little more and a little less both at the same time. It’s like adrenaline courses through you and you take risks, risks of being who you truly are, risks of showing your dark side, pouring your heart out and being too vulnerable. But it’s worth it.

This is how you end up finding light in the darkness. The things you can’t do during broad daylight, the one you can’t be, the things you can’t feel, you end up doing and feeling all these at night. I know there are pros and cons of it but at the end there’s the joy and the peace which you get through this and there’s no denying that. I know you are sacred of this vulnerability backfiring at you but for a time being be the one you wouldn’t be infront of everyone, feel what you want to and care a little less, save that for the next day. Let that adrenaline surge through you and let yourself feel more alive and the scars you’ve been hiding so well let them heal.

Then close your eyes and you will find the chaotic world getting blurred in the background and you drifting off to sleep with your heart beating gently from the sound of a soft music playing in your ears, the music of peace. And the next day will begin with hope and light and you will find yourself standing strong for what you believe in. Despite everything that has happened or will happen, you will make it because you can.
