    About this ebook

    How do you spend the darkest hours of the night, when all you have is your own company, and all those intrusive thoughts start lurking from the shadows? If we were to ask the moon, it would share chronicles of endless despair that would last a lifetime. We can only go through a whirlwind of emotional wreckage to confess how the night's darkness is the loudest, keeping our mind awake, and our thoughts spiraling out of control._x000D_
    _x000D_
    There's so much to say, yet no one to listen. Who do you turn to when the light at the end of the tunnel can no longer be seen? Do you find hidden answers behind each star? Maybe the brightness of the moon will guide you towards serenity? Or is it your imaginary friend?_x000D_
    _x000D_
    Those are some questions I ask myself when not only my eyes can see, but my heart can also feel the chaos behind that smile that begs for a pair of ears to listen and a hand to hold. These words will keep you company on your darkest days._x000D_
    _x000D_
    Whenever you feel alone, come find me.

      To my Dearest Sister,

      I’ve been losing myself every time I try to understand the daunting nightmares that occupy your bewildered yet beautiful mind. I’ve been so lost for words which is why I have the tendency to remain silent most of the time. I can’t seem to express this confusion that subjugates me. Yet, I’ve never felt the comfort of being so lost… Until now.

      This is my dedication to you.

      You don’t need anyone’s validation — not even mine — to dictate how you should be living or feeling. Stay true to yourself. Even if that means you’re expressing your sentiments through a whirlwind of emotions, while your heart’s anesthetized towards everyone.

      Moza

      BLACK

      Restless and agitated

      trying to comprehend the thought of losing you.

      A thought that haunts me ‘round the clock.

      Especially past midnight

      when you hear nothing

      but your shattered soul

      pushing against your skin

      from the tension

      and warmth of your
