underneath her blanket 

she could feel her mind wandering around endlessly

she grew more anxious and restless as time went by 

and before she knew it she could feel tiny drops of tears on her cheeks

she told herself that she is strong

she reminded herself that this too shall pass

sometimes they overpowered her

sometimes they merely whisper

but they're always there

lurking in the background

and one thing is for sure

they never left

she kept them to herself

she tried to scream

yet her scream only consisted of muffled voices

she could not understand them

so how could others

she just wants the whispers to be gone
