Eternal Sleep

Goosebumps, hairs on high alert
Eyes slowly filter through the trees
Suddenly, she's face down in the dirt
As she's roughly thrown on her knees

Foot on her back, keeping her still
though she's struggling with all her might
slowly but surely; she's losing her will
realizing she's already lost this fight

face down, gasping for breath
losing the will to survive
praying; questioning if this is a test
pleading silently to be left alive

blackness engulfing her soul
lone tear slips down her cheek
aware she's losing her self control
now just wanting rest, eternal sleep

she's losing grip and she's giving in
doesn't want to struggle anymore
slowly being torn apart from within
tired, so tired; at always being ignored

no longer resisting, broken eyes cry
leaving a life that never truly begun
dimly wondering when she became so awry
and admitting, her depression has won
