Choices

She finally feel asleep and woke up on the ground,
Her head pressed on the pavement feeling broken and bound,
As she picked herself up she stood on a ledge,
So close when she stood she knocked a rock of the edge,
She tried to step back but her legs just got stuck,
Her eyes then got misty feeling a pain in her gut,
She tried to remember how she ended up here,
As she struggled finding balance through all of her tears,
She combs through her life before she fell asleep,
That placed her inside such a dangerous dream,
Her arms dripping in red as they left behind scars,
She’d been swallowing pills to prevent any harm,
She’d been locked in a place that they promised would save her,
She’d been lying herself into darkness and danger,
She’d been shaking on floors with her head in her hands,
She’d been screaming in pillows because they don’ understand,
Then she realized why she had been put in the place,
She had a choice to fight or to drown in her pain,
So with all of her strength she tried moving her legs,
And she noticed the edge getting further away,
She awoke from her dream and decided that night,
That these days are a battle but she’s ready to fight.
