Shes that girl you see walking down the street.

The days are so cold. Yet she still goes outside. 

Puts on her best outfit of the day, and takes a deep breath wishing the bad away.

She hopes for something new. Everyday. 

She walks down the streets, passing every familiar place.

Watches the snow fall to her feet.

She seems to be the only one out.

Everyone looks at her from the inside, thinking "she must be crazy."

But she doesn't mind. She'll walk in the coldest of cold, and the hottest of hot.

As long as she gets to walk away.

Shes trapped most of the day. In her little house, forced to stay awake, with her fears.

When she finally gets the chance, she leaves. Walks a thousand miles.

But she always finds herself back at the same place.

When she wishes for something new every day, she wishes for it to be the day,

she can finally walk away.

Find the new place that she can rest. finally closing her eyes and not afraid of what she 

might find when she awakes.
