-"Life is heavy"


Life is heavy, dreams are nightmares... I have tried to wake up from the nightmare, it has pulled me in deeper and deeper. 

Screamed and shouted for help but nobody heard. 


Left with nobody to turn to, stuck in a place that I wanted to desperately get away from. 


Feeling helpless and grasping for life. 


Feeling scared and lonely but nobody to turn to. 


Trying to wake up but my eyes wouldn't open. 


I feel lost in nightmares of my own. Crying and screaming but nobody was there.

 

Waking up feeling scared and grasping for air as I had never felt this pain before.
