Outnumbered

The night is like a wild animal
Pacing around and around
Trying to decide whether to devour me
Or curl up inside of me like a ball
In the middle of blurry streetlights
The rain stops me from finding my home

Dark trees appear like shadows of strangers
Old friends that no longer call
Between me and the night there's a hole
Open scars and blind windows
That make me invisible to everyone
And block the door to my soul

There's this feeling inside of me that never ceases
That life isn't happening at all
That the night and the world
Are cold and dreamless places
Where neither love nor death matter
And l am outnumbered and small
