The ice shimmers bright by the light of the moon.

Calling to her softly as she strolls past.

Reminding her of the youth she once had.

Waking up early to go play in the snow.

School being called off due to bad roads.

Sledding down her steep driveway with her old neighborhood friends.

Not a care in the world to be found.

She dreams of going back there one day.

To that care free life she once had.

Now a days, her fear and anxiety takes control.

Casting dark shadows all around.

Never knowing when to give in to them or to run free.
