The pain she feels
The physical pain
The scarring of the skin
Let's her know
she's alive

Her only escape
Away from this pain
Are her dreams
there she can fly

Her dreams are turning on her
No longer her safety
They have become nightmares
they come with a pain anew

No longer just physical
Now she's tormented
Emotional
Where her heart should be
an empty hole

No longer can she escape
Pain is ever constant
Tearing at her skin
tearing at her soul

Still she tries
to take comfort in the knowledge
She is still alive
No matter the intensity
When she *struggles to breathe
