she runs
she hides
she screams
she cries

she wakes
and realises
that it was another dream
another repressed memory
from her childhood

as she looks around
she is conforted
by the lights, her music
the furniture pulled across the door

she thinks to herself
should she really be this scared
of her own father
she used to call him 'Daddy'
before she really understood

now, she knows
she will have to try and sleep again
and as she cries herself to sleep
she knows that she will wake again
in about an hours time
having remembered something new

something she was once so afraid of
and truthfully, she is still terrified by it all
