I lay in bed with this soft blanket that covers me.
The dark night is encasing me.
Leisurely suffocating me.
I feel claustrophobic.
The dim moonlight shining through my bedroom window;
Interrupting me from my long lost sleep.
For days my eyes haven’t been able to heavily close for more than a second.
Too many thoughts interfering with being able to drift into a world of not caring.
I can feel the tough, rough hands of a monster grasping my neck.
I can’t breathe.
I fight to just get one breath of air.
Uno, dos, y tres.
Three breaths helping me live again.
But the pain will not go away.
Heart pounding.
Body shaking.
Mind aching.
This pain is everlasting.
