Kpkuang: I Am The Night

That name doesn’t mean what you think it means. Or maybe it means exactly that. A flicker. A glitch in the system. The shadow that moves when you turn your head too fast. I’ve stopped explaining myself to the daylight people. They wouldn’t get it. They wake up with alarms and ambition. I wake up with the moon still high and a playlist full of songs that make my chest ache.

Don’t fight it. Let the darkness hold you. It’s not lonely here. It’s free. That name doesn’t mean what you think it means
