Insomnia

She Had Demons Under Her Eyes

Once there was a girl who didn't sleep normally
Because she was afraid
Afraid of the dark? No
Afraid of dying? No
She was afraid of being normal
So she stayed up until she passed out
And she always passed out to horror things
Like horror movies, or people playing horror games
Because she was never scared
She was only scared of being normal
So she always stayed up
Because normal people at her age got more than 3 hours of sleep
They got 8 or 9 hours of sleep
And she kept on staying up until she had demons under her eyes
And those demons kept her awake
They also made little purple bags under her eyes
That got bigger and bigger and bigger
Until the purple bags were black
Just like her eyes
So no one questioned her
Because she always looked different
Black eyes, blue hair, and paper white skin
Just like a doll
Because that's what most humans ever are
Grow up, get married, have children, and repeat
Now some people break that cycle
Like her as funny as it seems
You see since she was afraid of being normal she broke the strings that confined her to that cycle
The red string of fate or DESTINY
And the thin thread linked to the puppeteer that controls us all
Because it was suffocating her with fear
The fear of being normal
So that's why she kept the demons under her eyes
Because she was not a doll
And she would not be normal
So she didn't sleep until she had too
Because she wasn't normal when she got sleep
And she loved that
Cause even though she was almost always tired and she had those demons under her eyes
She wasn't dead
And so if she wasn't dead she could keep on being weird
