My Nightmare

The darkness comes and swallows me whole I grab on to the sides but this weight around my ankles just pulls me down deeper the light at the top becomes dimmer I hear this echo in my head My best friend becomes my worst enemy I dig my nails in on the side to stop the slide down it does not help I see people smile and talk to me but just their lips move I hear nothing I scream but nobody hears a sound I have this nauseous feeling in my stomach I am afraid of something that does not exists suddenly tears run from my eyes I don't know why its so hard to breath I look in the mirror and there is no reflection I can't walk I can't sleep I can't wake everything I do easy, seems to be enormous How do I make it through this day? How do I make it through another night? The nauseous feeling has become more painful Today is the day I stop this, but how? I can't even lift my arms. It's my worst nightmare coming to life... Depression
