she looked in the mirror
and stared at her own bloodshot eyes.
they weren't red from crying.
her lips were wet from the drinks she kept having.

just all of her.
she didn't look like herself tonight.
she hasn't been herself for a while either.
she's happy.
doing the things she never would've thought she'd do.

splashed cold water on her face
and walked out.
back to the people she spends her time with now.
they were just like her.

she's tired.
she's always been so tired.
a fatigue that can't be helped with sleep.
but she also did need to sleep.

she'll probably fall asleep,
on her friend's bedroom floor.
and tomorrow morning
they'll all still be so,
so tired.
