Save me.
Save me from myself.
The Haunting's won't stop.
the images never end.
And I wake up screaming
sweat dripping from my brow.

Paralyzed from sleep, I wasn't truly
Wake up to see dreams are actuality.

The author's comments:
I am always overwhelmed. This was written when I was in a ditch when family and school clashed horrendously; and I felt like nothing could be done. I was just lost and frightened.
