[ monday night ]

the whole time I have spent in the hospital so far was nothing but therapy.

I never realized how tired and burnt out I really was from everything.

The nurse brings me in food and medications.

The doctors tell me to write down my nightmares and feelings.

But what do I write when my nightmares are my reality.

I sighed putting the journal aside as I was led back into my room.

I was given new sleeping pills and a button for whenever I get a nightmare.

I laid in bed and waited.

[ 10 pm ]

I laid in my bed staring at the ceiling hugging my teddy bear.

It was hard trying to fall asleep living near such a big city.

I sighed heavily putting the teddy bear over my face.

[ 12 am ]

My sleeping pills finally began to kick in but my body refused to sleep

I didn't want to get another nightmare or worse, a sleep paralysis.

It was finally somewhat quiet in the city.

It was warm in my room and comfy, welcoming for sleep but my lids couldn't stay shut.

[ 2 am ]

I was daydreaming.. well imagining making fake scenarios in my head and what I'd do if they happened in real life.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard someone walking in the hallway.

My door suddenly opened as I threw the covers over my head.

I didn't want to be scolded for not falling asleep yet.

I just wanted to pretend that I was better so I could go back home..

I peeked out from under the covers to see a shadowy figure.

I sat there in silence as it stepped forward into the moonlight.

I could see who finally walked into my room.
