No escape


My dreams are dark, My moods are depressing. I feel so distressed amidst all of this, I feel haunted when I lay to bed, I feel disturbed when I'm wide awake, No peace for me on both ends, Exactly why do I ever have to continue living. Sleeping, and waking up panicking. Awake, and feeling tears running down my face. The pains I feel are what I want to end, The pains are why I take the pills, If they continue even when I'm asleep, Is that my cue that only death can take my pain away. -Omowunmi Adejuwon
