In a dark room, with the blinds only allowing some light to get through. Well, its not totally dark. Theres a lamp shaped like an odd looking rock or crystal of some sort. She said it was for good health. The lamp gave out a dazzling yellow-ish light that gave the room atleast a little bit of life.

Sometimes I feel like the room I've trapped myself in is losing its life. Why did i trap myself in here in the first place? No matter how bright I make the lamp shine, it's still not enough. Am I not enough?
Am I the problem? Am I the one at fault? Is it my fault once again?

Hmm... no. Maybe I should go out. Where the sun shines brightly and the plants grow freely.
The warm breeze of summer thats just around the corner, the soft gigles of my little sister.

I get up from the bed and separate myself from the soft pillows and the monotone lighting. As I grasp the cold door-knob I feel my legs stop abrouptly.

Do I really wanna do this?
Of course you do! You need some Vitamin D of course!
NO! Just wait for a bit. Maybe later... there still might be people outside... plus, there are other things to do!

Yeah... I should stay for a bit. A couple more minutes wouldn't hurt, right?

I lay back down on my back, and feel myself sink into the soft matress. I didn't realize i was this tired, Maybe I should sleep.

The lurking peacefulness and monotone of slumber takes over my head. The fuzzy feeling of sleep as it tickles my now closed eyes. Shifting positions as I wrap my arms tightly against my beloved pillow and hug it against my chest. As though it would disappear if I let it go.

Wait! Hey! That essay! Is it done have you passed it?
Yes. We've passed it.
I didn't like the score tho...
Oh no... what if, our score would go increasingly lower? Our grades! How will we ever get a passing grade to a higher class?
No! Its ok we'll try harder next time! Nothing more than a bit of studying will be enough!
Exactly! What are we doing, sleeping! Get up, get up! This won't be enough. You wont be enough.

AHH STOP!
I can't sleep.
