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
