she wakes up
disjointed thoughts
screeching through her head
she looks up
at the bedside clock
only 3:19, an eternity to go
until it's morning
and she can be alive
she gets up
stumbles in the dark
the carpet rough
against her bare feet
she runs downstairs
tries to break free
of the chains
that held her yesterday
a glass of water
trickles down her throat
mysterious shadows
lurking on the wall
her brain filling up
the empty void
with noises she can't hear
she's so afraid
but she won't admit
she's so alone
but she won't find help
they left her behind
the lights are off
they forgot her again
it's always the same
she switches a light
to banish the demons
and lies on the sofa
where she can stay
and be herself
and cry herself to sleep

I wrote this last night (at 3:19 am, surprisingly, hehe). I don't know what it's meant to be, but it's different to everything else I write, so I decided to post it! :D
