Enervate

Enervated by day, energized at night. I am no bat, no monster, no owl, no creature of the darkness. I am simply turned around. Not human, but namuh, a backwards woman, unable to live in the ways that the billions before me have done. Someday I will grow young, but for now, my feeble bones ache with the pains of the elderly. I cannot wait to remember the things that will happen to me. Until then, I will lie here and wait for the night, for my time to roam.
