This existence

28 Dec

She makes herself go to bed exhausted
So she wouldn’t dream,
of things that fill her with hope.
Trapping her into a false sense of security,
that everything will work out just fine
if she just believes.
That everyone will have a happily ever after
That there is actually a way out
of this existence, this hellhole.

    nicely done… and sad but true too often. I wonder if it could read well without the last line at all too… ?

      Thanks! I was actually going to leave it without the last line, but it demanded to be written at the time I was writing it. :) I think it’ll work either way.
