Carpe Noctem

As I wake up and try to seize the day,

There is so much noise around me,

That my faint inner voice gets drowned out,

And I can't hear myself.

And all I hear most days,

Is the cacophony of the world going around,

From to-do to ASAP,

Doing so much and creating so little.

And by the time I get a handle on my day,

Carpe Diem style,

It's night.

Fuck.

So I Carpe Noctem instead.

I anyways like seizing the night instead.

Getting to my post-midnight conversations with myself, and you.

Because the world is so silent now,

I can hear my inner voice more clearly,

Making sense to myself.

And you, sometimes.

Hello & Good Night.
