Challenge
There are some dark thoughts unique to the middle of the night. Describe them poetically to the best of your ability.
Notice
At 4 AM
When even sleeping pills won't let me rest
I wonder
Would they even notice
If I was gone?
I wonder
If I died,
How long would it take
For them to notice?
I wonder
Does anyone even notice me?
The voices then strike,
Telling me that my supposed
"Friends"
Hate me,
That the skin on my arms is too pure,
That it should become
as broken as the rest of me.
4 AM adds red lightning bracelets
To the already very long list
Of imperfections
Leaving only one thing from before:
The voices' final echoes
"No one would know."
