Apparently I was yelling in my sleep. What I was yelling about I didn't know. I pretend to not have any fears, But I am the most scared person I know Snakes, darkness, not being good enough... I've dreamt about those before. Over the summer I gained a new fear; Falling. Not just psychically, but mentally as well. Falling into a pit of self-pity and depression... Feeling everything as my body and mind shatters. Being aware as my life gets destroyed. Nightmares I can deal with, But the haunting feeling of this one hasn't left me. No one was there to hear My petrified screams as the ground disappeared I couldn't be saved... no one saw me fall and I knew this. But I still cried out the scream that woke me... *"Please don't! Don't let me fall! Please!"*

Please Don't

Welp, true story. Depressing but whatever.
