Clockwork

~

By day I write

and hide from night

By night I hide from myself

That’s when the demons appear

escaping their hidden shelf

~

They spill my ink

won’t let me think

I’m forced to quit too soon

Then I’m left with nothing to do

until the setting moon

~

The sun will rise

to blurry eyes

And off again I’ll venture

I’ll try to have a brighter day

But darkness remains unsure
