But Wait Hope Said
In her mind she was still chained to the house
There was no escape, no plan, no hope
She was irritated with herself
For she recognized these chains were hers.
Frustration felt like eating concrete
She had tried to escape the sadness of her youth
For some unknown reason, the house had returned
In her Rem sleep, chasing her, making her face the demons
She was not strong enough to escape or face as a youth.
But wait hope said.
Aren’t we mightier now?
Didn’t we get away?
Haven’t we accomplished something?
She returned to the nightmare a tiny bit less afraid.
