I am slammed against a cold hard wall
My legs are twitching and I can’t stop them
The weakness of my body collapses
And all I want is to fall asleep
and never wake up.
But I can’t
At least not yet
I have more to do
And most importantly
I have someone waiting for me
And they need me.
But how much longer can I last?
Every time I shut my eyes to ease the pain
All I see is fire.
Fire growing as tall as skyscrapers
And it won’t stop.
There are people there too
In the fire
The flames consuming everyone I care about
Into nothing but a pile of ashes
And I can’t do anything about it.
I see through my eyes
But I am frozen
I can’t move any part of my body
I just stand there
Watching everyone I love disappear.
My eyes open
And I am back in the dark
I curl my body up
And try to be as small as possible
As my whole world starts to cave in.
