She never was an early riser.

Occasionally plagued, and weighed down

By the darkness lurking inside.

The early morning alarm hammered in her head,

Waking her to nothing but dread,

As it rang violently in her ears.

Insomnia had paid a visit again—

Her mind kept awake through the night

By tears,

And the worst kinds of fears.

Here it was, familiar yet consuming,

A darkness all-encompassing,

Polluting her mind with ailing thoughts,

That intruded, relentless and unrelenting.

A familiar darkness that was all-consuming,

Began to pollute her mind

With the ailing thoughts

That was unrelentingly intruding.

The déjà vu didn’t surprise her.

Even in those times she seemed wild,

When she laughed, when she smiled—

She was none the wiser.
