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.

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.
