She toss and turns,
Staring at her ceiling.
Restless course through her body,
She can't stop thinking.
Wonders why people are after her.
What has she done?
Keeps the secrets locked so no one will ever know.
Helps people with their problems.
Keeping to herself.
As her problems get bigger,
Clogging her mind.
Holding back her pain,
Being the strong female her parents force her to become.
Over and over,
Faking the smiles and laughter.
Day after day repeating the same thing,
Everyday is a forced shedule.
No such thing as freedom:
Tries to rebel,
But in the end there's punishment.
She hides from everyone,
Judging her cause she's different.
Name callings stick to her mind,
Never abandoning her.
Her past coming back to her,
Holds the tears back even more.
The pain in her chest shattering her fragile body,
She doesn't scream.
Showing she is strong,
But she doesn't want to.
Afraid to get attached:
Knowing they'll betray her,
Cause in the end it happens.
As her worst fears become nightmares,
She learns not to sleep.
Every dream is even Hell,
Shadows hold her.
Capturing her as a prisoner,
Their slave for eternity.
Knowing no one will notice,
Chained trying to escape.
But in the end,
She tosses and turns,
Tortured day and night.
