I hate sleep 
It is such an inconvenience 
Why would I sleep when I could stay up 
All night 
And watch the sky shift 
from Blue, to Green, to Yellow, to Orange, to Red 
to Black 
And watch the stars pop through the infinite darkness 
And watch the moon turn her face to me 
Smiling 
She would sing me a lullaby 
But I would not sleep 
How could I sleep on such a beautiful night? 
 
Nighttime is so quiet 
Calm 
Some might say “It must be lonely” 
And I say “I like to be alone” 
There is a difference between being lonely and being alone 
I can be lonely in a room full of people 
Walking by and going about their day 
Not acknowledging that I am even there 
But I can be alone with the moon and the stars 
And feel happy 
 
Oh to stay awake all night 
And stay with the moon until she falls asleep once again 
And the night sky changes 
from Black, to Red, to Orange, to Yellow, to Green 
to Blue 
The brightest, happiest blue 
 
But I am not happiest when the sun comes up 
I love the night, and I wish it would stay 
Forever
