"Eric.  Eric! " I cry as I woke up as if from a nightmare.  But my reality being my nightmare.

The bed feels moist and warm.  From being dampened by my sweat and tears. 

I reach my hand out towards the ceiling and slowly close my hand. 

All this pain-- why?

Was it even worth it.  The feeling of my throat getting tight and dry. It encourage tears to pour down. 

All I know what to do now,  is sob. Plainly cry out all my problems.  So maybe one day,  I can look back and say "I now have my shit together. "
