staring into nothing
yet again another day of pain
sleep calls her name
"don't fall asleep" she murmurs to herself
afraid that if she does
she wont have a tie to the earth
they'll dispose of her before noon
but that wouldn't be so bad
dreams are supposed to be your safe space
the place where you make up stories to cure your pain
was that a lie?
by the time noon came
her demons called unto her
laughed at her
played games with her
"don't fall asleep" she says with fear in her voice
