You wonder if it's all in your head.

Why can't you run awayor cry for help?

Once again, you are driven against the cold cement.

You become paralyzed.

Unable to move

Your lungs no longer fill with air

You are numb to all feelings

You can't process what is happening to you.

Has this happened before?

Can you escape?

Your legs won't move. Your feet are glued to the ground below.

The cold barrier is pressed against your back.

The only way you feel wanted or needed.

Pain floods through your body, it only hurts on the inside despite all the pain inflicted.

You try to breath.

Will it ever be ok?

Will I ever heal? When will I take a breath again?
