frantically flowing river-like tears and vision with a haze,
once beautiful smile turned into a frown,
unaware of the battles inside, as she drowned

with heaving breaths, palpitating beats
shivering hands, covered in pale-coloured sheets
voice hoarse as she helplessly screamed,
snapping out of the horrors of her dream
