Chapter 4 Phantoms

I'll tell you about a few things that changed because of DJ. I couldn't sleep for fear of the dreams some nights. It was always the same dream. A man would come. He was in the basement coming towards me. I was never able to escape. I a woke and remember the dream for the first time. I couldn't sleep. I stayed up crying in bed for the whole night. It made me want to never sleep again.

I'm not strong enough to fight against my own body. Every night I gave into sleep. I didn't wake up remembering me dreams most nights though. Some nights I cried myself to sleep. I ended up begging God to take my life. Like so many times before. I flinched when people moved throughout the day.

Whenever I was scared, I would become angry. Thinking showing no fear would some how save me.

Back inside myself to cry myself to sleep. This is how I spent my days. Pretending to be strong, while whimpering in fear. Stone cold was to be the new me. Because stone can't be hurt, but only turned into rumble. That wish could never be. For I pleaded that night, I cried desperately. For someone, something but no one came.
