She Dreams
K.N. Lee
Stealthily
slipping into a glorious slumber
She dreams
Between
lectures and meetings
And
conflicts and beatings
She dreams
Her world
The one
within her head
Is a place
full of serenity
Absent of
dread
With eyes
wide open
And pen on
paper
No inner
demons
Nor outer
Dare to
touch her
She’s built
this land
With
cookies and sand
Chocolate
waterfalls
And cup
cake deserts
A little
house
On a little
cloud
Are all
waiting for her
When the
yelling’s too loud
Broken and
bruised
Abused and
used
There’s one
thing that’s safe
This
shuttered place
Tucked deep
And far
away
She only
wishes
That she
could stay
But it’s
all a dream
A return to
her youth
An escape
from the truth
Therapy for
her soul
At least
this place
Is one
thing
She can
control
