"Wow! It's really dark. I've never left school so late before," her friend said as her voice quivered with a tinge of fear.

"Come on, this hallway is scary. Can't they turn on the lights or something?" continued her friend as she quickened her footsteps.

They walked on in silence through the deserted and dark hallway. The only source of light were behind and infront of them. Despite the creepiness of the situation, she did not feel intimidated at all. Instead, she laughed and walked on with her friend. Feeling glad that she did not have to be home so early. Feeling glad that she could waste more time outside, instead of couped up at home. So glad that it was nightfall. Yet another day has drifted by.

3 weeks ago, she stayed to wait for something. Now, she stayed to prevent from thinking.

Despair comes knocking.
Wading in quick sand.
Sinking.
sinking.
No branches for support.
No leaves for comfort.
Just sinking.
sinking.
The sky remains overcast.
The wind reduced to a whisper.
All eyes on are on her
as she sinks deeper
and deeper.
Just sinking.
