Asleep

 Happily I sing a song

To myself

I smile cheerifuly

To myself

I begin to shake

I begin to shiver

I huddle in a corner

I yell in fear

I yell in anger

‘Not me’

‘Not today’

‘Leave me alone’

‘I’m here to say’

I feel a hand

Crawl up my back

I gasp for air

My lungs burn

‘No’

‘Why me’

I fall asleep

Crying

I awake in a coffin

‘NO’

I yell

I beat the hood

I fall asleep

This time

For good
