No Sleep

There was a girl who couldn't sleep Her eyes remained open, Bound by their determination to stay Her brain in overdrive A pen in hand When she started to write She didn’t know that the words she spilt would be dripping with angry tears As she watched her hand move across the page The words flowing from her pen She realised that she was reading them as if for the first time When she was finished and could write no more She stopped and read read what was left there on the page The words jumped out and surprised her She had never before been afraid of what was inside.
