I'm trying.

I'm trying to stay active and up to date on everything.
I'm trying to meet my reading goals that increase 100 pages each week.
I'm trying to write.
I'm trying to get straight A's.
I'm trying to stay on happy-grounds in my social life.
I'm trying to love and trust, but not enough to tear my world int pieces.
I'm trying to learn.
I'm trying to understand.
I'm trying to be kind.
I'm trying to make a movie.
I'm trying to write a book.
I'm trying to finish Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

But I'm failing.
I'm falling.
The pit comes ever closer.
The night presses around me, cutting off my shouts for help.
The void swallows me.
I turn.
I turn to the other side.
The side, that has no tries.

I stop trying.

I fail, and I get punished.
But do they seriously think that will stop me?
It won't change anything.
I'm part of it.
The other side.
It's become a part of me.
The night is evil now, instead of comforting and shielding.

My grades fall.
My friends abandon me.
I'm alone.

I'm alone.

I cry out as I realize what I've become, but this is all I know now.
Tears spill.
Hearts break.
But I'm alone.
And I'm a part of the other side.


I can never escape.
