At Night (Poem)

At night the girl who smiles during the day
Finally puts that mask away.
At night the girl who acts like she is fine
Can let her guard down and not be fine.

At night the girl's brain starts to remember
Everything she wish she couldn't remember
At night all those images become so real
She'd give anything to make them unreal.

At night she sits alone in a room
Wondering what will be her next move.
At night the girl finds some courage
She didn't even think she had any courage

At night her blade becomes her best friend
She believes that she only has that one friend
At night she holds in a breath of air
And slides the blade across her wrist as easily as breathing through air

At night she becomes someone she doesn't need to impress anyone
At night she doesn't have to be strong for anyone
At night she is the girl that she really is
At night she is the girl, who no one knows she is.
