Waking Nightmare

Despair and Sorrow sink in taking over my mind and body. I can’t breathe its suffocating me, it consumes me and I’m drowning in it. Please help me. I can’t see the surface anymore. There was a time that I could fight the crashing waves but not anymore. I’m growing very tired as the cold settles into my bones. I try to scream, maybe this time someone will hear, but the water cuts it off burning my lungs with its icy grip. I try to fight it but I’m just not strong enough. I let go and the darkness takes over filling me with a peace that I’ve never known before. My last thought is why no one could ever see the tears that I’d shed and if they had then why they didn’t try to stop them before they got so deep.
