Eyes welling with tears
Walking down the halls in fear
Afraid they will smell the terror
She tries hard to disappear
Their stares burning holes into her
Slowly feeling their judgment coming her way
She wants to leave
Their stares have caged her in
Taking off in a sprint
She thinks she is getting away
Why won’t her feet move
They are closing in
Screaming in her head
There is nowhere to turn
Yearning for all of this to disappear
She opens her eyes and finds the light from her reoccurring nightmare
