• The nightmares flood her senses.

    Awake and trembling, she hops in her car,

    trying to find an escape from the pain.

    She feels her demons hands still on her,

    coating her skin with an unseen layer of filth

    that she is never able to wash away.

    Memories from her past eat away at her mind

    like an invasion of maggots feasting on her rotting flesh.

    So she slams the pedal to the floor.

    Accelerating past 90 down the road going nowhere,

    she's driving on the edge of sanity but she can't seem to care anymore.

    Feeling like she's flying away from all the pain,

    she grabs tight to the hope that there must be more to existing than living a life like this.

    Closing her eyes to this world, she lets go of the wheel.

    Feeling the impact tear through her flesh,

    she tastes death on her lips like a welcome rebirth.
