Wind blowing through tree branches
I was running way too fast
following the light from the horizon
I can hear the twigs cracking
on every step I made
Nearly dark, tree shadows covering the sun
Lots of bright mini holes
from leaves as I look up
My heart beats so fast
I can't breathe
My pace so fast
I can't stop
I was being chased
by a big dark shadow
trying to get me
Trying to get away
but it was following me
Suddenly I opened my eyes
but I can't move, I'm sweating
Teardrops on my eyes
I was scared
needed more oxygen
panicking
It was all a dream
a nightmare indeed
confusing
why?
Anxiety?
and the stress
that comes with it?
but
why?
