ASLEEP

Sofia Mauri — Grade 8 — CWP Submission

Dark clouds cross the sky

My eyes wide open

My mind closes as I lay awake

The horror in my mid flutters ,

Like it stands in front of me

I can hear their voice ,

Yelling at me

“ I did nothing wrong ”

I screamed , I yelled

The room dimmed

I Fell Asleep
