Lessons of the Night
For the hands that hold our fears while we learn to face the world on our own
The night was made for mothers
Who take our pain to bed with them
She knew too much for too long
From a world that wasn’t too kind.
My naivety would be my downfall
I wanted too much, too soon
From a world I’ve not known too long
I am on a journey that’s just begun
And through this, the night will
Teach us patience.
