I walk into the school
Everyone’s eyes wonder over to me
I look back at them
I’m unable to break through the wall
It encloses me
It suffocates me
It takes all the freedom I have
It takes everything
I feel the walls lift up
I stand, surrounded by water
I’m in the middle of the ocean
Stranded and alone
I dive into the water
I don’t even care about the waves
I just float out and get lost at sea
But then something pulls me under
I land on my back
Pain shoots up through my spine
I’m now in my living room
Not a single drop of water on my skin
It’s dark outside, the moon lighting up the night
I hear a footstep in the kitchen
I stand, and go
I shouldn’t have done that
I see him there, standing with a knife
He’s poised to attack
I can’t see his face, I can’t see anything
My heart jumps out of my chest as he lunges
I hear a piercing scream
Was that me, or another?
I open my eyes
I’m in my bedroom
