As if her world were crashing down,
As though the sun had disappeared from the atmosphere,
Before the dizziness consumed her from the outside world,
As her days became dark and gloomy,
She wondered if she could ever escape this gloomy, evil, dark state of mind.

Until the Universe Collapses,
Unless the sun has died,
Even if the world stops spinning,
So that you have to die,
Her heartbeat now controls her life now fading her away from the world that she roams, and she wonders if she'll ever come clean of this dark state of mind.

The author's comments:
I wrote this piece for school to begin with, but it more became the world of a teenager. You're consumed with everything, and you don't know what to do. It also show that not all people can live a happy life everyone of us has a dark time.
