A little 2am thought
Sparks in the minds of doped up boys and intoxicated girls;
Electrocuting the first defenses,
That defend against the early morning sickness.

An army of 3am thoughts
Rise up in the stomachs of hungry boys and acid soaked girls;
Bile burning right through
The protective wall they constructed to protect their hearts.

A case of the 4am thoughts
Washes over gaunt boys and bleeding girls;
A baptism to cleanse their bodies
Of the love for themselves they tried so hard to capture.

They've cried themselves to sleep like this
Too many times to count.
They've woken up with crusty eyes and smudged lenses
More than enough.

And yet
Every morning
They pull themselves out of bed
And swear to prove those thoughts wrong.

And yet
Every night
They curl under their blankets
And pray that alone will protect them from the monsters in their head.
