Be who you are and say what you feel, because thouse who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. -Dr. Seuss


Reality flashes
Into my mind.
Terrifingly vivid.
Startling me.

How did I get here?
Can't remember.

Why?

I know that I am
Destroying my life.

But I can't stop.
I don't want to.

Broke.
Nowhere to go.

So I sleep on the streets.
Again.

my bed consists
Of a cardboard box
newspaper as
my mattress.

Why?

The nightmares
plague me...

Because it's not a dream.
It's my new reality.

Help me.
