"Sleep is something I'm used to. Listening is something I can see. Eating is something that I can't do, and ignorance is always to controlling me. What am I?" I say this riddle to myself over and over again. Everyday I wake up and think, I think until I can't think anymore. I think until I give myself headaches; then I think some more. Prison isn't a nice place. Its not a fun place either. fun, nice, kind, are all wrong adjectives to describe it... if it were me describing this place I'd say, dirty, painful, blood-thirsty. I've been saying that riddle for the past couple weeks and I think I've figured it out.... Awareness.

Save Me

I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect. I fought and fought, but I was getting weaker, and colder. The pain was overbearing. I couldn't breathe. It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.
