She finally closes her eyes,
Dripping with exhaustion, she lets herself
Fall into a deep sleep.
Hoping she can keep
Her demons at bay.
The world is rugged, rough,
Tough.
And yet her she lies,
Unconscious,
Letting her mind rest from it's daily struggle.
That is, until her exhaustion
Takes a turn for the worst.
She's running,
Panting.
Trying to escape.
She knows her dreams do not tell her fate.
But yet, she can't help it,
As she lets herself succumb to her fears.
Her dreams swallow her up,
Turning into nightmares.
