3 A.M.
She sets in her bedroom

Eyes locked on pixels

A glowing screen 6 inches from her face

Her pillow a sanctuary to chips, and the depression that keeps her there

Sitting and scrolling eases the pain

Of stagnant thoughts

Like novacaine

Bored and friendless

She is tearing up

Sad feelings will soon erupt

And she will lose track of these lonely hours
