Escape

voices in my head

so scared i barely went to bed

i did not know what to do

only if  the people around me knew

never much cared for writing

until it was all i had

putting my thoughts into words

made everything hurt a lot less worse

crying and sleepless filled nights turned into lines and lines of words

no longer jumbled in my head

i could finally go to bed

no longer taking as much hold on me

 one step closer to being free
