State of Mind (part 4)

Are those your cries or my own that keep me awake at night?

Sinking.... How deep is the hole I am falling into?

I'm reaching and clawing at the surface, but there is nothing for me to grab on to.

It's the shadow...

Dark and gloomy.

Keeping me awake at night.

It grabs at my arms...

My legs.... my feet and my throat.

Muting my screams.

Tightening its grip... taking away my voice and air.

I can't tell if I'm awake or asleep anymore.

Pray they say and the night terrors will go away.

It won't.... I know it won't go away because it is constant.

Blending my dreams with my everyday routine.

I'm starting to feel numb and that is not how I want to be.
