for Cat...
She drifts in a realm of darkness
Engulfed by visions from the past
Desperate to quiet her mind
Exhausted yet unable to sleep
Trapped within horrific memories
Unappreciative of her outer beauty
Begging for time to pass with speed
Eager to escape her relentless thoughts
Long before the breaking of dawn
Rising from what should be her haven
Heart racing as she dons her armor
Scrambling towards some sense of freedom
Flying through the blood red door
Feet barely touching the sweeping stairs
Rushing towards the icy wind
Gasping to fill her lungs with air
Moving with determination
Rhythmically pounding against the pavement
Her pulse accelerates, brain alert
Fleeing from the depths of despair
Rain begins to fall upon her
Allowing her to shed her tears
Ignoring protests from her body
Physical pain is simply exquisite
The sun rises to kiss her cheeks
She stops to bask in its warm embrace
Breathing in the fresh new day
Her soul is nourished to carry on
