Running
Busy
grandmother 
         Running around town
Running around the house
Running in her
mind
Never stopping to rest
Never stopping at all
Exhaustion
hits
It sinks into her mind
It whispers, “REST FOREVER.”
As in a
trance, she listens
She, alone, goes the medicine cabinet 
Taking all she can gorge
She waits
                                 The voice inside her head still lingers
            It again whispers, “NOT
FAST ENOUGH!”
She goes
to the bathroom
With the dark blade of death
       Worried grandfather running around town
Running around
the house
She’s running through
his mind
Never stopping to rest
Never stopping at all.
I love this so much.I am so sorry about what happened, but you formatted this very well.
