All she wanted was to be alone. She found peace in the silence. She wanted to escape. Escape from the harsh reality that drove her mad with every waking moment. She wanted to be left alone with her thoughts. The ones that slowly killed her. Her mind spun out of control. The world became a dizzy blur. Her head pounded. The thoughts fighting for their way out. She thought she was going insane. The pain that filtered through her would never leave. The tears were building up quickly, threatening to run over. But this time she wouldn't stop them from coming. Hiding was too exhausting of a task. No more biting her tongue. No more built up anger. She was a grenade that had just exploded. Except this time, she would rise from the ashes.

I'm almost there.
Almost to the top.
Nearly at the end.
Kind of finished.
Sort of done.
Barely through with everything.
Somewhat over.
Close to the finale.
Not quite completed.
All but there.
Practically
Just about
Virtually
More or less
I'm almost there.

Every night we close our eyes
and miss one of the best aspects of life:

The Moon is my sister,
The Stars are my friends,
The Sun is my ally,
To serve and depend,
I'll shine through the shadows,
And burn through the night,
I'll vanquish the Evil,
And stand with the Light
