Sleep Remedy

Anxiety filled her body as her teacher stands over her shoulder

Breaths being released and brushing over her neck

Cringing as he whispers in her ear how mature she is

Dread filling her body as she realized all the students left

Feeling stuck as he watches her like shes prey

Guilt fills her body as she walks home

Hiding out in her room as she bathes in self loathing

Insomnia hits as she stays awake in fear of seeing the monster that is him again

Jumpiness as she enters the school that no longer feels safe

Knees wobbling as she sees him

Laying low hoping he will let her be

Melancholy rises like a tide in her blood as he forces her to stay in for recess

Numbness succumbs her head as he strips away her happiness and takes away her sleep

Others walk in and stare in horror and pity

Pity as weeks go by and she is the traffic accident bystanders stop to see

Questions constant questions from adults asking her about him as she tries to forget

Relief as it is finally over, at least she thinks

Sunken eyes, because of sleepless nights trying to escape the prison that is her mind

Trying to put on a facade that she is okay as everyone is watching her, seeing if she'll break

Understanding that this is how it will feel from now on

Vengeful as she realizes this man took away her peace and sleep

Wishing that it is all over

Xannax and alcohol is her at home substitute for Melatonin

Yelling as her parents walk in and find her on the ground

Zzz, she finally falls into a dreamless sleep for eternity
