I arose screaming for air, my lungs filled with oxygen, and every breath I took caused my chest to burn like hell. I looked up and a bright white light shined back at me making my eyes burn and close again. I opened them back slowly staring at the white light. Was this it? Was I finally freed? Did I actually escape all the pain and misery from Earth? I escaped! I kept repeating in my head, I escaped! A small smile light up on my face. I was grateful, I took another deep breath, and that's when I noticed it. I was so confused, the beautiful fresh air, was not fresh air. It wasn't pure, it was filled with the odor of medicine and alcohol. It wasn't freedom. I felt so scared. I opened my eyes once again, I stared at the light and experimented it for a few minutes. It was all a lie! a fake Heaven, this light was an artificial light. It was fake, I was so angry, I wanted to throw everything and scream but I was to weak. Tears started running down my face. I shut my eyes, enjoying the darkness. A flatter sound bothered my ears, it was like birds flying right next to my ear. It sounded low at first then it got louder and louder getting inside my head as if the bird lived in my brain. Then it stopped out of nowhere, I couldn't hear anything. It was pure silence and only the sound of breathing sang. It stayed like this for a few minutes until I could no longer hear anything and the world shut down around me including my body. I was sleeping..... Sleeping is such a sweet and beautiful thing. It's the only thing that can help you escape reality and just take a break and rest for hours, letting the world defend for itself while you just simply sleep...
