Analysis of sanity
She's falling apart the voices are screaming for someone to hear. Her own cries go unheard. Tears of pain and torment stain the path she walks. Hoping one day to be understood. The pain and anger builds deep inside her soul.
Afraid of madness taking control she fights for her sanity day in and day out thinking she has to win this battle. She tries to ignore the voices but they grow more anger with her. Fighting for control she's not willing to give up.
The darkness is starting to surround her now, weighing her down. She tries to break free from its grasp. Tighter and the tighter it holds.
