she is alone.

after a long day of insanity

after a stressful day of dealing with humanity

she is alone.


she doesn't put her things away

they are dropped by the door

they crash onto the floor

she doesn't need them anyway

she doesn't need anything but time alone.


She trudges upstairs

lays on her bed

lays down her head

she barely cares

she just wants to sleep while she has time alone.


she slams her eyes shut

but the thoughts whirl sporadic

but thoughts break and wreak havoc

she wants her mind to stay put

she wants to sleep while she has time alone.


but she can't.


so she stares at the ceiling.


numb
