In my slumber, I see darkness.

Darkness is what I see.

Sometimes flashbacks of painful memories haunt me too.

I hardly ever wake up.

When I do its usually a stern doctor looking at me, examining me, asking me questions.

Do I reply?

Of course not.

I just stare blankly at the ceiling.

I basically know everything about my room's ceiling from all the staring over the past few weeks.

When I don't answer, the doctors sigh and leave me alone and soon I fall back into my slumber.

My slumber of pure darkness.

With almost no way back.

Sometimes hours, sometimes days, even once a whole week.

Time flies when you're so depressed.
