Ghosts of Her Past

It's early in the morning and she's never been to bed, swirling and twirling words are circling in her head.. She wishes to peel back time and live days in reverse. She wonders if this life has been a gift or a curse. Too many days filled with anxiety and dread. Resilience was her brilliance people always said. A series of ineffective meds falling short of intervening, those troubling thoughts, keep bubbling up, steaming. Incapable of moving on. It's too great a task. There's so much comfort living with the ghosts of her past.
