Grounded

by Allie   Aug 11, 2017


I can't keep from falling down. I face plant into the ground.

Everything around me is spinning, making me dizzy.

I can't help myself back up. It seems like roots come up out of the ground and wrap around my body keeping me down.

This misty fog surrounds me as tears stream down my face. I can't make it back up this time. I try spitting the dirt out of my mouth and shake the roots that are holding me down.

I'm fighting to breathe and to take another step. I'm just so lost in this world of emptiness.

My muscles tighten with every grip. I gotta pull myself back up.. this can't be it. I'm alone and scared. I'm screaming for someone to come find me.

This continuous loop of fear and exhaustive thinking. I gotta keep myself from blinking.

I gotta keep my eyes open. I can't let the opportunity of escape slip by.

This world that I have inside my head is so dark and gloomy. This can't be what takes me under further into the darkness.

I'm not gonna stop fighting.
