In her rush she'd come through the clearing faster than she'd expected,now before her lay the bridge.Stopping dead still she felt that familiar panic rise at first It was then that she turned looking back again to where she'd come from.For a moment she felt like she should turn back,but another part of her pushed at her to go forward to press on and find what it was she sought.Sighing she let herself twist her finger in the white jade trinket,from it came no memories though,not as they had inside the mist.For a few brief moments she felt nothing at all as she stood there.The silence of her mind and heart was welcomed but it didn't last,it couldn't,the numbness vanished like a puff of smoke.A sigh fell from her lips breathing out the puff of grayish white smoke from her lungs into the cold night air,it was in that moment the decision had been made,unspoken for her.Turning her back on the path and where the gate had once lain she took the first step of many onto the bridge,the hard thunk of her rubber soles on the sturdy wood seemed to echo all around her.With a last half look over her shoulder she smiled for the last time,"I'll come back...you can't get rid of me that easy,no matter how much you want to."She whispered,then facing forward made her way carefully across the bridge,carving her own path silently in the cold night to the last place she'd called home.Her hunt for answers had begun.
Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore
You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell
