The Night Shift

The night shift
Was made to break you
To tell you
You were not made
For the dark

The hours alone
Hardly sleeping
You only wished
That you were actually
Dreaming

Panicked
And manic it made you
Wondering if you had
Ever done less
Or desperately wanted
More?

The night shift
Was made to break you
To tell you
You couldn't have been
Made in the dark

It was made to release you
To free you
And ultimately
Defeat you

For precisely how else
Could He
Have reached you

In your fancy white coat
And your posse
Of me too's

Forgetting about faith
And the miracle
Within you

The armor so tight
That nothing
Could bleed through

Until one day
The night
Came to meet you

And break through the
Cracks
That only She
Could have seen through

To awaken the heart
That only wanted
To see you

Forget the word hate
And start living
As if you

Had always known love
Was how
They would greet you

And give you the truth
That from all dark
​You will wake too
