The tips of my fingers are ripped off and ****** from trying to scratch my way out of my own skull. My heart is one thousand pounds trying to pump my blood through my gyrating body. I inhale to breath, but my lungs only receive my anxiety. I breathe deep, but intake no air. I am all of the sudden falling. Falling back, but there is no where to land. Others are floating around me. Breathless and afraid, I am in outer space. Falling into the darkness, I need to breathe. I involuntarily let it consume me. My emotions bawl up in my chest as I watch planet Earth fly away. I cough up the word "No" and try to swim through the zero-gravity, back to reality. No matter how much strength I put in, I only move further away. Reluctantly, I give up. The emotions bawled up in my chest, fly up to my head, dance their way through my skull and seep out of my eyes as a gentle cry. I am afraid of the darkness.
