3 am, the hour of the devil arrives
A time when the darkness fills our eyes
Our inner demons start to spin
And the fear of the unknown is about to begin
The silence is so loud that it fills our ears
Forcing us to face our fears
Our souls seem lost in a void of despair
And the only thing you can do is just sit and stare
Thoughts of doubt and worry
Pollute the air and make it scary
But we can fight these demons and banish them away
And bravely go on with a new day.

Dear Clentin,
This poem is a very good answer to the 3 am challenge! I liked how well it flowed from one line to the next. Good work!

Thank you for reading. I did
Thank you for reading. I did a little research and found that 3am was thought to be the devils hour opposite the death of Christ at 3pm. Interesting.
3am Sometimes causing me to wake up after a bad dream.

3am
Certainly is the devil's hour. I enjoyed your take on the challenge and the research you have done to bring factual elements to the poem. Well done.
Thank you, I figured that 3am
Thank you, I figured that 3am had some historic reference.
I've never associated 3 a.m.
I've never associated 3 a.m. with the hours of the devil before, [I've learned something new, thanks!]
although I suppose I've cursed the hour for being the one
to bring about closing time at our local watering holes.
Yes, being awake in those hours of pre-dawn can be scary,
especially if you have things to worry about. Bills, grief, etc...
There's nothing much to do at that time, but think about the things
that you have been putting off the whole waking day.
I think that maybe you might rethink the first line of the second stanza.
You do use the word in the first line of the third stanza, so I think you might say something like:
[The silence is so loud, that it can deafen you.] I'm sure that you can come up with a good second half-line.
As always, my advice is just that, advice.
Use it, twist it, throw it away. ~ Geez.

Thanks, you are right. I will
Thanks, you are right. I will take a look and see about editing some lines.
Thanks again.
