Is it really always darkest before the dawn?

[CaptainWacky]

Is it not actually darkest right before it's slightly less dark? Or is dawn the moment when it becomes slightly less dark?

I normally want to slit my throat before dawn so's I do not have to see the blood in the daylight hours.

There is a point during the night that feels so dark
I don't want to go home
I don't want to stay out
I don't want to see the light of day
and then it happens
the sun begins to rise
and I realize
I've stayed up all night
I hear the birds chirping
and I want to shoot myself
I will never get anything done now
I will never accomplish something
So I close my eyes
and I squish my head
into my pillow
and I burry myself into my bed
and I sleep

If these statements are true
about it being darkest before the dawn
is it lightest before night fall?

Sometimes in my city
it is dark and dreary
all day long
but then
just before
the sun goes to sleep
the moon comes out to play
the clouds go away
and the sun says its goodnight
and I beg for it to stay
and I thank it for being there
if even for a moment

IN THE METAPHORICAL SENSE

JUST BEFORE THE LIGHT

COMES ON

IN OUR HEADS

IT FEELS SO DARK

If only everything could be explained to me in comics!

That last balloon should have said, "Thanks, DAWN!"

 

[CaptainWacky]

Be back before Dawn.

I agree...life should be more simplified.

Dammit! That is a great suggestion!

I have a story.

I drove up to the window and her eyes stared at me for what felt like half of an hour, but really it was only three seconds but it felt like three minutes. She asked me what I wanted and I told her. Then she turned to me and said, "I don't know where this fog came from, it just sort of rolled in"

We chatted a little more and I drove away, a little fearful of driving for the next hour in the fog. But a strange thing happened, as soon as I drove away from her little espresso stand the fog was gone. I looked back in disbelief and sure enough I couldn't even see the place, only clouds.

I thought, "It is darkest just before the dawn!" But then here I am two hours later even and it isn't even day light yet. I sit by my window and wait, peering out, waiting for the darkness to overcome my world.

I wonder this same thing everytime I hear the song, but hey, do good songs really have to make sense, or are they dancer?

 

[CaptainWacky]
