You don't know what it's like, waking up every hour of the night to screams echoing in your ears, seeing fear-enduring visions as if they were right in front of you. I know none of it is real, but when I close my eyes, it all turns into reality. I would give anything to be free of this curse, to have but one peaceful night's sleep. During the waking hours, it is so difficult to hold my eyes open; I wish I could just fall asleep on the spot. But, I have grown to fear sleep. It is what I dread the most. Each dream is so terrifying, so intensely terrifying. In most of them, I am in danger, unable to escape. It's like planting flowers in the desert - they will never flourish, as I will never rest. No matter how loud I cry out, no one can hear my calls. Luckily, though, I always eventually wake up, though the dreams seem to last for an eternity. I have yet to understand why I am plagued with these nightmares, and I don't think I ever will. I can only pray that, one day, God has mercy on my tormented soul, and that I may rest easily.
