Am I the only one who lays down in bed at night feeling like there's something I've to do or think about, something important, something to keep me distracted of this horrors that the silence keeps?

But I can't figure it out, I don't know what that thing is, it's like a feeling in your chest, in your mind that tells you there's something you should be doing right now, something that might change everything but you can't tell what it is, there's something holding that back, it's fear. That's what is holding your "salvation" hidden in the back of your mind, you're not ready because you fear freedom.

You are going through hell but you kind of know what's happening, you convince yourself that you can control it because lying to yourself feels safer than facing the unknown that freedom is. You are afraid that once you get out of this you'll discover that those demons are just you, that they've always been you, but you allowed yourself to think that they were there just because you were having a rough tine.

Here is the thing, those demons have always been there. They ARE you, they were just waiting for a moment of weakness to show themselves and start destroying you. You don't get out of this and forget, you recognize this part of you, you embrace it. You will always live with your inner demons, they make you unique, they make you, you.

It's going to be a hard battle, but just remember that you aren't going to beat them by letting them get to you, you're going to beat them allowing yourself to cry and feel, you are going to beat them embracing them and learning how to switch them off.
