Morning Never Wakes
By Kimberly Gorman

Having no home
No place to rest my head
I live with fear of daylight
Not wanting to be seen

Darkness conceals my reality
It keeps me safe
From stares of disgust
Stares of blindness

In the bright day
There is no hiding
I must blend in
Look like everyone else

The night is my cloak
My time to find rest
A dark corner in the world
Where I can't be seen

The stars are my blanket
They keep me warm
Warm while I pray
That morning never wakes
