She uses her needle to elevate her stream of consciousness
Hovering over the past that betrays her
Venturing into the future that continuously escapes her
She needed a release

Hovering over the past that betrays her
She finds her father who identifies her as worthless
She needed a release
She needed time to banish her thoughts of learned helplessness

She finds her father who identifies her as worthless
The repeated addiction of self hatred darkens her vision
She needed time to banish her thoughts of learned helplessness
Time is evading her

The repeated addiction of self hatred darkens her vision
Maybe escape wasn’t an option
Time is evading her
She was going to die here

Maybe escape wasn’t an option
Venturing into the future that continuously escapes her
She was going to die here
She used her needle to elevate her stream of consciousness
