She picks up a pen, then places it down

Underneath the twisted thoughts

She glances out the wndow to breathe the air

Blow the smoke that clouds her mind

Has it fade away, dissolved, gone?

She flips the papers, saw more bad news

Darkness crawls beneath her skin

She sips black coffee, tasted the bitterness

As life injustices taught her to grow

Has it touched her, bring to light and show?

She turns on the radio, a familiar tune

Haunted, tainted by dreamless nights

She runs her fingers through her hair

Of broken friendships, misjudged reactions

Is this what they mean as life's designations?

She stares into space, a picture in her head

When night falls, she will erase the path

She sees the light now in her solitary reverie

Encircle and embrace with immense relief

She smiles, as tonight, she will breathe
