Despair


When everything comes crashing down on you and you feel it all at once. Nothing you can do to eacape it and its this weight on your chest crushing you. Crying doesn’t even help and all you do is scream out all the pain in desperation. You crawl under the covers and sleep into a fantasy that's better than reality. An when you wakeup you put on a show so that no one knows.
