The Fears That Consume Her



Negative thoughts consume her when she lies down each night 
And her biggest fears arrive as her chest gets tight
Her mind plays tricks, blocking any source of light
The nightmares, she'll once again have to fight


She lives in peace throughout every day
But then the sky turns from blue to gray
Her enemies begin to taunt her in a sickening way 

And all she can do is sit down and pray

No one knows about her struggles or pain
For they would send her to an asylum for the insane 

Silent, normal, and serene she must remain
But secretly, hope is washed away by rain


Deeper and deeper, her thoughts take her under 
Lightning strikes and dark clouds create thunder 
Her happiness is the only thing her rivals plunder 
"Why me?" she can't help but wonder

She battles her complex mind all on her own 
Every evening comes something unknown
She cries because she's so scared and alone 

But she goes about her day with no fear shown
