Poem

2 AM

2026-09-02·Manushresth

For the nights when the world gets quieter and your head gets louder.

At 2 AM the room becomes honest. No notifications. No conversations. No one asking how you're doing. Just the ceiling, the fan, and every thought you successfully avoided during the day. Some nights I want an answer. Some nights I just want the night to end. But sometimes I think the quiet isn't asking me to solve anything. Maybe it's just asking me to stay.
