They’re chasing me down the street
My screams are silent as they leave my mouth
My feet are heavy as a run down the dark alleyway
They speed up as I slow down
The scenery changes leaving me on a tall cliff
My feet move as my mind races
“What am I doing”
“Why am I here”
My body falls like a rock
Fast as a cheetah
As the grey pavement comes into view…
I wake up
