Tried to not listen to them, he would close his eyes and try to let them fade away but they would cloud his head with nightmares he had to stop... They had to. Stop... But they wouldn't... They couldn't... High School, the voices got louder and the nightmares got so real so close and personal and it's almost like he could touch em but if he did he wouldn't come back. He almost slipped twice he did slip once. Sophomore year things got more terrifying, they got more evil and more real. Now he could touch em and come back, but he came back hurt and scared, petrified and lost, lost in his own bed, lost in his own head, lost... In his own small little world where everything is dark. He gained weight, stopped hurting, but the more he resisted the darker and louder they got, scaring him awake and never ever letting him leave their side. They got louder everyday and every second grew more more dark, grew more and more evil. Then out of nowhere light, light in his darkness, a glimmer of hope and sunshine arose form the depths of hell to rain happiness upon this God forgotten child! He got happier, lonelier, but happier. Then one day he was happy all day, the voices went away, the darkness was overpowered by the flashing lights and loud music! Then they got dark and scary, telling him he doesn't deserve happiness, and they were right, they are always right, and always will be. But 1 fateful, eventful, sad but happy day that array of sunshine remained for days and weeks, moths even, ever since then he's been happier. The darkness came and went as the months went on. Then he actually got happier, for once he was actually happy... From that day forward he remained happy... Though with his happiness came at a price, his happiness is overshadowed by what he doesn't do. They tell him to die die die but he tries not to believe them... He knows it's hard, he tries his best for his array of sunshine to keep his composure and tries to not lose it all together. The darkness will one day consume him, before he's even prepared...
