She drowns her sadness by going to sleep

though every night

her nightmares give her more pain and sadness that stabs her heart way too deep.

In her dream

an ear piercing scream

that fills the tense air

it calls out for help in agony and despair.

"Come here." said the tricking voice

and as darkness follows behind her,

she obliges, because she has no choice.

She follows, as the voice leads

to a monster before her eyes, whom on sad and dark souls it feeds.

"Let me take over you," the voice commands

she shakes her head no, with trembling hands

for words could not be formed

as anger in the monster's eyes had stormed.

The voice laughs heartlessly

"worthless that you are!

I don't know how you've even survived your life so far."

The girl watches with a broken heart

feeling it shatter, 

part by part.

She wakes up suddenly, her eyes filled with tears

her bravery has been thrown out the window 

replaced with her never-ending fears.

She struggles and struggles, yet she still has a spark of hope

that maybe one day,she could be happy, and with her life she could cope.
