Living Nightmare

Feel the noose tightening around my neck

Cannot breathe, choking on every breath

Distressed

Unrest

No end in sight

Bury me alive

Agonizing thoughts penetrate my mind

Nobody sees, nobody hears, nobody cares, nobody’s there

Couldn’t be any more aware that I’m living in a nightmare

This is when things go from bad to worse

But it isn’t a dream, real life is more perverse

Every sound that I make just echoes back

Am I really awake?
