Den
The dawn starts to reign.
And here she was, emplaced in vain.
She asked, "How can you sleep,
Without thinking of the cut that's so deep?"

Every single night,
Memories grip her neck so tight.
And here comes her mind,
Starting to whisper some things that aren't kind.

Tired eyes are still arguing,
With Mr. Brain who wants to keep going
In bringing up the past
On this little girl who wanted to sleep fast.

"Oh, my precious Mr. Sleepy,
When will you come unto me?
Embrace me in your loving arms,
And keep away the darkness that swarms."
This is me every single night.

SOMETIMES
I just want silence from you
BECAUSE
My thoughts are loud enough

His surrendered hands outstretched - grasping to hear a voice of direction, "DON'T LET ME FADE AWAY! SHOW ME A SIGN, THAT THIS IS ALL WORTH IT."
2 attempts at medical school admission and 2 failing MCAT scores, I'm facing a third admission attempt in the face, I'm resilient but how persistent am I to be?

Wounds heal like
hell frozen over--
abstracted blood
never blends in
with the territory
fast enough.
Your long, sharp,
superintelligent
fingernails stake
their claim.
Always repeating:
'oh you poor thing'...
while picking away.
