Motionless

The shadows lay before me. I struggle to rise from the ground. It feels as if I have been shattered into two. The world seems to continue to spin around me. Yet I lay motionless unable to move. I don't understand what is holding me down. I try to stand but I cannot move. It feels as if there is a weight holding me down. I call out for help but all I get is the echo of my own voice. I listen in hope that I will hear footsteps in the distance, but it remains silent. I can't escape from the pain, it haunts my whole body. There are whispers in the distance, I call out and they grow silent. Why will nobody come? Have I sinned too many times that I am being punished. Is my punishment to lay here in misery? No matter how many times I call out for help, still no one seems to come. Suddenly my eyes open and I realize it was all just a bad dream. There are many people around me who care, and I have the help of God.
