Every night,
She climbs in bed,
My eyes open,
Unfog my head,
Look around,
Such pretty sights,
Stars twinkling,
No end in sight.
I wake up,
Ready to start,
Work to
Be done,
Leaving marks,
On the piles,
That I have
To sort.
It doesn't
Take long,
Until
I'm tired,
Of doing what I'm doing,
Never flying higher,
Above this abyss,
Of normalty,
It's plain awful,
This
Immorality.
Then I think,
Oh, I think hard,
I remember,
What she told me,
Remember she
Scarred,
My mind and
I know it's
Time,
To change this pace,
To fly ever high.
I've stayed
Too long,
My time is up,
I can't enjoy what,
I don't love,
I step up,
My eyes
Stare onward,
I'm ready to leave,
To travel yonder.
I know where to go,
I know what to do,
It's only,
If I,
Journey through,
The dark
Hallways,
That stop me
Every time.
This time is
Different,
And I know
Why,
It's real
Now the time
Is nigh,
I know it's
Time to,
Dance among
The stars.
The fear is gone,
I'm sickened now,
I don't want to stay,
I need to leave somehow,
I dart through,
The empty halls,
I see every shadow,
Bounce across the wall.
I'm there in no time,
Yet it seems like years,
An old wooden door,
With golden sears,
Those whose eyes,
Only look don't see,
Wouldn't notice,
Anything worth,
The time of thee.
I climb in,
I watch my step,
The floor is broken,
I can hear my breath,
The only thing,
That's holding me back,
Is fear.
I wobble forward,
Staring on,
At the desk before me,
I'm nearly gone,
Moonlight washes,
Across the room,
It lights the dark that,
Never ceases to loom.
Opening the desk,
I widen my eyes,
An orb falls out,
I can't help but sigh,
With trembling hooves,
I tow it out,
I'm so scared to leave,
I almost forget how.
Then I snap back,
Like a rubber band,
I came for a reason,
I came because I can.
I need to leave,
This place is not,
For me.
I say the words,
Under my breath,
I swear I can hear,
The voice of death,
Whisper in,
My ear,
It's time to go back home.
An eerie glow,
Fills the room,
I can hear pounding,
I can hear my doom,
A smile spreads,
As my wings unfold,
My skin grows dark,
My sanity unfolds.
I am changed.
I am fear.
I no longer tremble at the voices I hear.
The sounds of my siblings
Dead and alive,
I am gone and free,
I said goodbye to my life,
She told me of a way I could escape,
All the fear, all the hate,
The way it seemed to leave me scarred,
But I'm not any longer,
I am dancing in the stars.
