She lays there in the sleepless night
There is no light.
Reality clashes with unreality
in the starless skies of her insomnia
The hopelessness she fears going to bed.
When will the nightmares stop raging in her head?
Endless torrents of tears are flooding through her soul.
Unclear of the meanings and doesn't recognize the forms or faces.
Just the pain is etched in her mind.
She's screams, but no one hears her.
They see, and yet they refuse to believe.
Listen to her, will someone listen.
Stairs, the steps, the hall way, the smells.
Slowly, so very slowly she climbs.
Only to find in front of her the pain is just beginning and all she wants is to leave it behind.
