She lays there
She lays there hoping the day will grow bright
laying in the dark she’s almost afraid of the light that’s going to shine through the curtains soon
planning in her head how and why to get out of bed when there’s so much dread
She lays there building up the courage to leap to her feet
shower get dressed and put her face on pretty
this black and white thoughts are getting silly
she doesn’t lay there anymore instead she walks right out her door
