Yes,
This is a dream
I know that may be hard for you to except, seeing as you can't actually change anything
But it's true. So wake up.

Congratulations. You managed to sleep until three AM. No, you cannot go back to sleep.

No,
No one else is awake yet.

No,
Playing that song you hear in your head,
(Over and over)
Will not make it go away. It is not recommended.

Yes,
You should write down every terrifying second of that dream because right now,
It's a memory, not a dream.

Yes,
You actually do feel that angry and hurt
You can actually see that bruise on your arm
You are actually crying.

No,
You are not the one screaming in your ears, but maybe in your head.
No one else can hear you.

Yes,
The fear is actually there.

No, I can't tell you how to fix this
I'm so sorry.

Yes, you absolutely must be terrified
Forget how to breathe
Hear your own heart beating too fast

Resent your heart for beating,
Your brain for thinking
Your body for being cold and stiff
The air for being silent
Your friends for being asleep
Yes, It has to be like this and you don't get a choice.

Yes,
This is a dream.
I know that may be hard for you to except, seeing as you can't actually change anything
But it's true.
So, please,
**Wake up.
I've been wanting to write about this for awhile. It's very difficult to be sure of yourself when you start to call your life a nightmare. It's very difficult to jump out of  one nightmare and into another.
Please comment :)
