Let Me Rest

As I lie here a thousand ugly faces fill my mind, haunting, taunting, screaming my name. Confusion mingles panic as I strive to understand all these thoughts and emotions whirling in my head. Going round in circles I never reach the end, and as I close my eyes, they scream my name again.

How horrible, I hope this isn't really true for YOU, sweetie. You paint a strong picture of someone going mad!

I like here you were going with this, but I feel as though it could be explored further. 'Going round in circles' is also very cliche' but I understand and connect with the confusion you portray, keep it up x
