My Demons

I can't breathe. The tightness is in my chest yet again. It is a feeling that many people find hard to conceive. But for me, IT comes and it goes. I want to cry out, But nothing will come. I feel as if I am frozen. Caught in a whirlwind of emotion, And I can't get out. I simply can't move. Lonlieness and grief take over. I turn to a friend, But no one is there. The paranoia starts to take over, Does anyone care? I feel so alone, No one could understand. All I want is to sleep, Sleep and pray that in my dreams I am happier than in reality. Why does this feeling grip me? Why do I sink so low unable to esacpe? I think I am taking over, Then days like today come. I feel I've finally overcome it all... They push me back into the darkness where it seems I belong. I feel like I'm stuck. I can't get out. I'm tired of struggling. How do I fight these demons? I need a hand to pull me free.
