he tries to sleep at night, but he couldn't.
one might ask why, but he could never express what he felt in words.
he felt like he was constantly drowning, and he didn't know how to swim.
he kept running out of breath, water coming out of his mouth.
he was powerless.
other times, he felt like he was on the edge of a cliff and even the lightest of winds can knock him over into the underlying river.
when the wind did blow, he fell. but not into the water or the ground, but he kept on falling.
falling into oblivion. falling into a black hole.
the worst one was when he finally did reach the ground or when he finally did catch his breath, he would think that he died, but once again, he wakes up and lives his life.
one would think that what he dreamt was his nightmare, but the reality is the nightmare he was most scared of.
