Run. Run. Run. Keeping running. Don't look back. Don't look at the mess you've created. Don't look at the damage you've done. Just keep going. Pretend like nothing happened. Pretend like it was all a nightmare. Put your mask back on. Don't let them see. Don't let them in.

Leave your past behind. Create a future that will be forgotten. Live in the present. Live in hell. Forget everything you've ever done. Create a new you. A better you. A you that will end up back at the bottom, no matter how hard you try.

You can run. You can hide. But you'll die either way.

Keeping running. Keep moving forward on your pointless journey through life. Keep hurting until you rest in peace.

There's no escape. No escape from the demons. The demons that call you a fellow human being. The demons who put on masks and pretend to be civilized human beings. Pretend.

I have advice for you. Don't ponder in your nightmares, they'll only scare and worry you. Don't stay in your dreams, they'll only give you false hope. Kill your mind. Destroy it. Shoot it with a gun. Just shut it down. Stop it from getting too deep.

This is not poetry. This is not an essay. This is not a sad person writing to another. This is a pointless dream being dreamt by a pointless person. There's seven billion people in the world. What makes you so special?

Run. Keep running.

      'Chase your dreams,' they'd say. 'Run from your nightmares,' they'd think.

Don't stop.

Yoongi woke up, lying on a hospital bed. Inside his mind, the asylum made of twigs snapped in half, releasing all of the insanity.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and laid back. His mind was foggy. The insanity inside his head was screaming, giving him a headache.

Yoongi let out a long, drawn-out scream. You know, the kind that you do when you're really in pain. Once he stopped, his mind was clear. He wanted to keep it that way forever.
